Widefield trials from Toucam

[ballaratdragons]

While I am in 'Experimenting Mode' with my Toucam Imaging, I tried a couple of widefields.

I attached a little 6mm Security Camera lens onto the Toucam and mounted it onto a bracket off the side of the scope.

Here is LMC, LMC & SMC and the Toucam mounted off the side (with IR/UV filter taped on the front).

Hey, it was worth a try :lol:

Good one Ken :)

Surprisingly good results. What's the difference between that security camera lens and the ToUcam's original one?

[ballaratdragons]

A slightly smaller FOV, and a bit better quality lens :thumbsup:

Oh, and that is a genuine Astronomical rubber band holding the Toucam together :lol:

Ken that is not half bad for such an arrangement, you sure get inventive.

Good to see you're using a rubber Ken. :whistle:

:lol: You never cease to surprise me Ken. :thumbsup:

[ballaratdragons]

:lol: I suprise myself half the time, Jase!

I can't afford a DSLR yet so I gotta get everything I can out of what I've got.
And having fun doing it :thumbsup:


Necessity, Leon :)

Looking good Ken.
Better make sure it is an good quality rubber and it doesnt burst.
Small toucams isnt what you want :P
