I love the ToUcam in the finderscope. Ever since I saw Anthony's, I've been meaning to do something similar for over 2 years now. I even have the 6x30 finderscope sitting in the shed waiting for adaptation but just haven't got around to it.
Thanks Mike, yep, Birds idea with the finder has been a great help. I am sure that you must also have had the experience of occasionally losing the target when rotating the filter wheel or by accidentally knocking the scope. Prior to the CCD finder, for me that meant wasting minutes realigning the target. I run the ToUcam with wxAstroCapture and the DMK with IC Capture simultaneously and now if for whatever reason I lose the target I can quickly realign it from the ToUcam capture screen.
