[Shark Bait (Stu)]

I have gutted the family webcam so I can start moving away from a-focal photography.

It was a Logitech C500 Webcam that has had all the extra bits and pieces removed. I have removed the IR filter that covered the chip in the hope of achieving more sensitivity.

The circuit board was screwed onto a plastic cap that fits into the body of a gutted barlow tube.

I have tested it during daylight and it works but the images are 'washed out' due to the filter being removed. My first attempts at stacking using RegiStax 6 appear to have worked.

When the conditions allow I will test it out on Saturn and see how it goes. Any advice from those who have been down this path before is gratefully accepted.

Thanks for reading.
Stu.
