Yeah, there are some programs that will take part or all of your screen and turn it into a webcam output. I've used Webcamstudio in Ubuntu and it seems to work with some success. I think there's some windows programs too...

I’ll have to look into that! It might be fun to ‘live broadcast’ CCD sub-exposures while they are being taken. At least with the Luminance images they could be stretched to show a very good “live” view.

Cool. I'll have to check this out sometime when someone is actually broadcasting. How do you know when someone is broadcasting?
Right now Google is sorting though that for a larger hangout format called, "On Air" I'd love to see an announced program guide or something like that, but for now it's ad-hoc, and VERY weather dependent.
I'm thinking of one tonight, after 10-11PM EST

So, do you have to have a camera and be broadcasting something to even be in the Hangout? As is pretty obvious on NSN, a lot of people like to just
You have to have to be invited to be part of the hangout (voice chat and webcam) but once it's set up the live stream is available to one and all through a link on Frasier Cain's Google+ and viewers can ask questions of the people in the hangout by commenting on the Google+ post. Once the hangout is concluded, the video is (or at least has been until now) posted on Youtube.

Instead of seeing 1 video, you will be seeing up to 9 at one time.
