My Philips SPC900NC Astrocam Conversion

If you’re like me and happen to own a Philips SPC900NC webcam, and you’re itching to modify it for long-exposure astrophotography (think autoguiding or capturing some gorgeous deep-sky objects!), then you absolutely must check out Bernard Bayle’s superb guide. This particular webcam, from the Toucam III generation, has a huge advantage: it’s way simpler to modify than the older versions. I still vividly remember dedicating an entire afternoon to carefully snipping tiny circuit traces on my old Vesta Pro – those were the days!
