TouUcam help.

I recently purchased a modified TouCam which I finally had a chance to try last night. My problem is that I could not focus the image on the screen.

I removed the lense and replaced it with a screw on adaptor which allowed me to sit the Toucam in the 1.25" focuser of my 8" newtonian on a DOB mount. This is essentially the same process as described in the Add a Webcam thread - http://www.iceinspace.com.au/index.p...63,431,0,0,1,0

Is there any other attachements I need that will allow me to focus the image? I have read that you can use eyepieces with a webcam but I didn't think this was mandatory to get focus. Maybe I have missed something.

Any advice is appreciated.
