Not at all, Steve.
I've never imaged DSO with a Toucam and was certainly not pushing any claim for any acknowledgement in that last post.
The point I was making is what you see there in John's gallery of images, as nice as those shots are, is about as much as you can expect from the Toucam.
Which for many people would most likely be a case of "good enough", and that's great. However, keep in mind you have to be as good as John to pull images like that from a Toucam. It takes good technique and processing skills.
Also keep in mind that's about as much as you can hope for when capturing DSO with a Toucam.
It just gets back to your expectations and budget.
Please don't think I'm coming from a negative standpoint. I'm just offering my opinion. I'm not saying that my comments are categorically right or wrong. It's just my opinion.
