Don't suppose anybody has one of these (or the 880) lurking in the back of a draw somewhere?

I'm after one to modify to hook up to a telescope, but they're rare now and the secondhand market has them priced to the hilt. I dislike the idea of paying £60-£100 for something that was a couple of quid new!

Thanks.

Adrian

I know someone with an SPC1290NC they're looking to unload if that helps.

I bought a SPC900NC new in 2007 for $70 for a project that never happened. The cam was never opened, and I finally dumped it on ebay 4 years later. Much to my shock, it sold for $75.

I could not for the life of me figure out why a four year old webcam would go for more than it had new. You've solved the mystery for me, and for that I thank you.

Has to be an 880 or 900 unfortunately.

The SPC900NC is considered to be the best (of the webcams) and there are kits about that simplfy the modifications, so I'm trying to get one of these...
