This is a very good video from a webcam. Can you let me know the webcam type (e.g. Phillips PC900NC?) and what else you would need with the ETX 90 AT to get the entire moon or crescent image on the centre of the webcam chip (e.g. focal reducer)?
Sorry, I don't remember the type of this camera. I bought it many years ago and took it apart back then to play with the CCD. I know for sure that it was not a "big" name like Phillips, Creative, etc. So even if I knew it would not be of much help today since I'm sure that most current webcams would perform at least as good.
Try to google robsastrophotography - Rob has details on what equipment/webcam he used to take his excellent photos.
With the current setup I can not have the whole moon in my field of view. But I will try to mount a better camera behind the eyepiece so that I can adjust magnification by using different eyepieces.
