Hi all,
I am after suggestions for a new webcam OR a 'cheaper' DSLR which will let me upload images quickly (once every 40 secs would be good) to my website.
I have been successfully using a Philips ToUcam Pro II 840 to webcast images of the Moon. I recently have experimented with trying to get the whole disc captured on the chip and it is just too small.
Following a separate conversation on this site, I ended up improvising an adaptor on my telescopes finderscope WITH a focal reducer and it still only got (maybe?) a third of the disc on the chip!
My research has uncovered webcams with 2m pixel chips for $130. Alternatively I could afford a DSLR but I don't have any experience with them. Is it easy to upload images quickly to a website? Do any of the cameras come with software that let you do that automatically?
Many thanks,
Paul Floyd.
