Budget CCD for astrophotography - Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000

There are specific webcams, such as the Phillips ToYou cam, which are sought after by astrophotographers. The Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 is one on that list. Rather than a cmos it has a ccd chip. I made this short video to demonstrate a common astro modding. I’ve included the one major hangup which is the recessed threads in the lens housing and how I solved it. Unlike the more popular Phillips webcam, these can still be found relatively easily on auction sites. They are frequent and inexpensive as well as good for acquisition. Sampling in the video was done with a budget 150/650 Newtonian. Questions welcome.
