From the developer:
Standard webcams like e.g. Philips ToUcam have been used for webcasts (also astronomical events).
A lot of software exists which can save individual webcam images as JPG-files for immediate broadcast to a website via FTP file transfer.
High quality CCD cameras like the Artemis have a lot in common with webcams.
They are computer controlled and save images continously on the computer hard disk.
