I'm not op, but I use a Philips webcam too, and there are adapters like this one that you can just screw into the webcam then slide into the telescope. This isn't universal with all webcams though, so if you are looking to do this, make sure your webcam can work with it.
Unfortunately, with webcams being mostly CMOS tech now, it is harder to mod them because the driver circuitry is built on the sensor. If you can find an old CCD webcam, Like an old Logitech Quickcam 3000 or Phillips SPC900 they are easier. Best place to start is to remove the lens and get an adapter to put it in a 1.25" barrel. This will give you a start in planetary imaging without needing to physically mod the circuitry. But for less than the price of a nice webcam, you could get a CCTV camera that has 512x or 1024x SENS UP capability and get images of up to 16 seconds which with my 8" SCT can detect 13th mag galaxies from a dark site. This thread should get you started on what to buy and what you can see with it.
