Thanks Dietmar.
The download Amplifier sits on the corner of the chip in many cameras. It emits heat and electromagnetic field, which affects the chip on long exposures. With the Toucam is is very noticable.
It can be made to turn off, and only come back on when the image is ready to download to the computer, but it's a Modification that's beyond my capabilities of doing.

Yep Gary, it would be great to have 'Amp off'. Then I could go even deeper, like I really want to do. I want to tease out more distant Galaxy Clusters.
Or get a much better camera.
EDIT: I forgot to put this in the 1st post: NGC 1313 was approx 18 degrees above the Horizon!!! Seeing 3/10 due to fog and wind, Trans 6/10. Temp -3c.
