Astronomy with a 60 mm refractor

Webcams

Small refractors and webcams answer to the same spirit: doing cheap astronomy. Webcam adds the possibility of making beautiful images of the Sun, the Moon and planets with small instruments thanks to digital images possibilities.
We find many examples on the Web with C8, ETX, or 115/900 scopes, but rather little with small refractors.
