Hi,
I'm thinking of stepping away from my meade LPI as my planetary imager and looking at the options available. The most obvious choice that immediately pops into my mind is Toucam, and I see that there are a couple of models out there now. There is the
SPC900NC, and the
PCVC840K (Toucam Pro II). I'm sure people have used the Toucam Pro II before but the other camera I have never heard of. It is capable of 90fps (Vs 60 for the Toucam Pro II), I'm not sure about the other specs though. Does anyone have any experience/advice regarding these? Also, I see Mike using the DMK camera with great success. What are the advantages of the DMK over these Philips cameras?
The other piece of advise is what barlow I should be looking at using. I have a 10" F10 LX200R so should I be looking for a 2x, 2.5 3x, or a 5x barlow? At the moment I only have a 2x shorty barlow from meade that I used with my ETX, would this still be useful?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
