Hi Bruce

The ToUcam can still be bought - the 900nc is available from a few ebay stores and also from telescopes-astronomy in South Australia.

It's still probably the best budget one around.

However the next step up would be the D*K series from Astronomy Cameras.

The DBK is best for a 1-shot colour camera, and the DMK is best if you want to take the extra step and go a monochrome camera (obviously you'll need a filter wheel+filters to get a colour image).

The D*K's have faster framerates, no compression and are more sensitive.

Good luck!
