Even though I haven't had the chance to do much webcam astronomy I have learnt quite a lot about it now. I cant wait to actually get chance to do it properly. We have the equipment at astrosoc so it might be feasible to do this there but I am looking forward to buying a new telescope and some sort of imaging device. Will probably buy one after my degree - even if I am doing a PhD I will have a bit more disposable cash to spend. Going back to the point of this post. As I said I have learnt a lot about webcam astronomy and I would encourage people to give it a go. It is a good option if you can't afford a professional astronomical CCD - not sure many can. If you want to know more about how to use / what you can get from a webcam take a look at this page.
