[SOLD] Modified Toucams, expression of interest

Exfso (Peter) · #1 13-01-2011, 03:59 PM

I currently have 3 flashed 900C toucams which I am modifying for long exposure. Thusfar I have probably modified over 60 of these cams. I also have the 1.25" adapters included. Price about $190.00+freight, which is substantially cheaper than that being offered on the web for these cams. Two cameras now available, one has sale pending, the third will be finished next week.

I can vouch for Petes work. He LE modded my 900NC years ago, & it's still working Pete!

Hi Peter,

I would be interested.

Regards Heath

If you could PM me, the 1st one will be finished tomorrow.

Exfso (Peter) · #5 16-01-2011, 03:23 PM

If more people are interested, I can get more cams in and mod them. The third one will be ready Monday.

I have just placed an order for 4 more toucams from the UK, as there seems to be an interest in these modded cams.

If possible can you PM-me how the longexposure mod works? What changes, etc? Thanks!

Exfso (Peter) · #10 10-02-2011, 06:10 PM

The cams I ordered in should be here early next week, so I will have the mods done a couple of days after they arrive.

Exfso (Peter) · #11 15-02-2011, 03:22 PM

These cams have arrived and I am in the process of modifying them. Three are already sold, one is left. I should have all of them modded by the beginning of next week.

Hi Peter,

I would be keen to buy the modded cam from you. Let me know when your ready to sell.

Cheers,
Brett.

Exfso (Peter) · #15 19-02-2011, 04:03 PM

Ok Brett.

Exfso (Peter) · #16 19-02-2011, 04:06 PM

A couple of shots of the cam stripped to its inards with some of the modification done.

Hi,
Do you need any special software to run these ?

And why are modifications necessary ?

Exfso (Peter) · #18 20-02-2011, 03:26 PM

Geoff, the camera in its native form will not do long enough exposures. I am not sure what software people use for this, others can fill you in on that, but the long exposure mod does work very well.

Cheers

Peter

Geoff...K3CCD Tools, wxAstroCapture, Craterlet...any number of apps for webcams are available. All do long exposures.

. . . and still my favourite program (also the easiest) - 'Desire'

Go here, and the link to download it is the first in the list of 'Helpful Links' just under the title photograph.

and here is a small sample of some of the images I got with my Modded Toucam, which show how good it is if you need to use it as a guide camera.
They definately find stars
