Hi Everyone.

I was wondering if it would be possible to use a Toucam with the long exposure mod to view faint objects with better detail. I'm not talking about taking great photos, I'm just wondering if I could use it to bring out some details of faint nebulae whilst out in the field.

Basically I want to use it conected to a laptop, viewing through my 10" Dob, expose for a second or two, and be able to view an "image" of say the sombrero Galaxy in better detail then I could viewing through the eyepiece.

Or even in similar detail, as it would help show friends the object when they are not used to viewing through a scope.

It is my understanding that this is one way of using a GSTAR. I have no idea whether it would work with a toucam.

Am I hoping for way too much?

Cheers,

Dave.
