ToUcam on its way!
I've ordered my ToUcam from Telescopes and Astronomy in SA, they're on sale at the moment, $145, then a bit more for the 1.25" adapter, $60 more for the IR filter and $12 for postage. All up $245 to my door which is a pretty good deal I thought.
I don't have a laptop, but I get one to use every second week, cause i'm on-call 3rd level support every second week for work..
But I swear the astronomy gods ain't happy with me, every week I get the laptop it's cloudy or raining or foggy or something. I've had the laptop this week and haven't had 1 opportunity to get outside with it yet. Not that I really want to struggle with the 4yr old webcam, but it's all practise and technique so the practise will come in handy for when I do get the ToUcam.
Knowing my luck, ToUcam will arrive on Monday, which is when I hand the laptop over to the other on-call person for the week, and then the rest of the week will be beautiful clear nights and mornings.
I really need to get myself a laptop.. time for a new thread for that discussion.
