When using the Toucam, recording images of the moon, I set the Toucam at an angle that moves the image across and parallel to the Computer screen, as suggested by Mike Salway, and although I can only use 15 to 20 frames using x2 imager magnification, I'm able to process these in Registax with reasonable results.
If the image was held stationary central to the computer screen for a period of ten to twenty seconds there would be more than enough frames to process quality images, atmospheric conditions permitting.
If angling theToucam compensates for the azimuth movement for twenty seconds, then a simple flat base board -with the scope siting on it- powered at the required rotational speed to compensate the earth's rotation, should -in my opinion- hold the image still or near so.
I would appreciate member's comments on the consept.
