I have come out of the closest gentle peoples. Some may have suspected ie the pink frilly dress, but here is some dso work

two videos made from 5 x 15 sec exposures from the modded toucam in raw mode

http://www.precons.com/iceinspace/gallery/aurora/

let me know if the codec for compression makes it bugga up

and some stacked images, again 15s x 5 of different areas of the sky.


There you go ving, some dso's from a planet guy

If you want to go a bit further to the dark side there are lenses available from Jaycar that screw straight in to a ToUcam. They are quite good quality and F2.0. The lens is about 4mm in diameter, far larger than the original lens and come in 4,6 and 8 mm FL. Only the 4 and 6 screw straight in and attain focus at infinity. They are only $30.
