What is the idea behind modifying a QC for telescpe viewing? Do you
actually turn it into a prime focus instrument by removing the lense?

There are two sorts of webcam modifications. You are talking about the
optical one, which allows the camera to be used at the telescope focus.
There are also a variety of electronic modifications that have been
developed to expose various features such as longer exposure times.

Usually there is some sort of a mechanical modification as well, such as
the addition of a 1.25" barrel, so the camera can be easily mated to a
telescope.

What modification do you have and how can I get instructions?
