Widefield Toucam & Desire-1st attempts
After trying to work out the 'Desire' Long exposure Program for Modded Toucams, I can say that I finally think I have it nutted out. Chris (33South) helped by supplying the link to the User Guide.
Problem is, to use the scope I have to use tracking! As my tracking isn't up & running yet and being determined to give the 'Desire' program a run I decided to use the 'point and shoot' method. Just aim the Toucam unmagnified at an object and hope for the best! I sat it on top of a piano stool!
What I ended up with are 3 widefield shots of Orion, LMC and Carina area including the Crux. I know they are nothing special but it was only my first attempt at using Desire & widefield. It will still take me a while to learn how to capture better, but I like them.
All I did was recorded in Desire & resized in PhotShop. No levels played with.
Transparency: 10/10 Seeing: 8/10
Seems a waste of a perfect seeing night but I wanted to try this out. Other great nights for scoping will come.
As usual, comments are welcome & you can copy them & have a go at playing with them.
These are my 3 attempts.
1: Orion - 1 frame @ 20 seconds
2: LMC - 1 frame @ 15 seconds
3: Crux & Carina - 1 frame @ 20 seconds
