I've been reading through David Ratledge's new book "Digital Astrophotography: The State of the Art" and on page 33 it shows the standard 1.25" adapter with the IR filter from the rear of the original ToUcam lense inserted into the bore of the adapter. I am almost fibulating over this discovery and would love to put it into practice. Unfortunately I wouldn't know where to begin; What do I use to hold it in place, how will I grind it down if it is too big, hell, how do I get the damn thing off without breaking it in the first place.
Any ideas greatfully accepted.
PS if you get to have a look at the book in an astronomy store somewhere check out the "Pentax" ToUcam on page 35.
What a brilliant idea! I'm even thinking of hacking into an Olympus or two to try the same thing. It would be perfect for modified ToUcams.
