Astro Photography ?

[Cassini12]

<p>Hi all,</p><p>&nbsp; What is a cheap way for me to take pictures of the things I am viewing through my Meade Telescopes, DS-2114 and a smaller 60mm version (dont recall model#).</p><p>&nbsp;Will any webcam do? I think I should mention, I know nothing about "exposure times" or anything like that, So I am hoping for now, to just get some still pics of things like The moon, Saturn, Etc. to see on my pc and email to friends/family.</p><p>&nbsp;One day I will step it up and buy a nice camera made for the scopes or whatever. But for now what are my options? </p><p>&nbsp;Thank you all in advance as usual.</p><p>-Cassini</p>
