Thanks! I'll check it out. I started dissecting a Webcam last night. I will
have to re-arrange things a little but I think I can get the lensless
camera to the right point on the tester. Amazingly enough, it never
occurred to me to pull the lens off -- even though I use a CCD imager every
time I go out to observe. Duh.

As always, thanks for the help everyone.

I have just the program for you - it processes webcam (with the lens
removed) images directly:
