If so, I must warn you that you're in for massive frustration if you're going to attempt to do dob-based non-tracking imaging with a ToUcam, when you're not right beside your scope. It will be near impossible and I wouldn't recommend it.
Mike, the scope won't be very far from the Desktop. Only a few feet from where the desktop sits (in the sunroom) but I need that bit extra. The PC sits in the sunroom and is set up at the window so I can use it from outside, but the way the cable has to run it just doesn't quite reach the focuser.

I can reach out and use keyboard and mouse from standing at the scope.
