Any idea what magnitude stars you can guide on?
I'm sitting here trying this out right now with the QuickCam Pro 4000 and am having some success with being able to see stars, but can only see stars down to about mag 6.3 (obviously quite bright). I'm wondering if the ToUcam would give a significantly different result, I expect not but would be interested to know.
I am working with a 70mm, at about 700mm focal length. Hmm, could be hard to compare.
I think I'm going to need fainter stars, or guide scope rings that'll give my guide scope movement in both directions.
