A home built 8 inch dob with an Equatorial platform restricting one to luna and planetary photography I purchased a Toucam Pro II on the advice given at that time on IIS and have had reasonable results recording the moon and planets subject to atmospheric conditions. Having built a new 10 inch dob and proved its ability under better conditions, I plan to advertise the 8 inch and purchase a "better" camera, but which one?
The articles submitted to IIS re DMK 21 etc., using 640 x 460 Res as the Toucam, in mono or colour begs the question HOW MUCH BETTER when compared to the Toucam, are they?
I'm not a computer wizz and from the little experience gained over this past year recording with both telescopes and associate gear, I do not think it possible to record three identicle pictures as required using filters, which means if I want colour as a one off recording its a loss of detail that I must accept and it appears to me the Toucam can do the same job.
If you have experienced the results of both cameras your comments would be appreciated.
A final question. Has Philips produced a replacement for the Toucam Pro II?
