Modified ToUcam

I have a long exposure modified Philips ToUcam. It has a parallel plug for the long exposure. It works with K3CCD tools.

I have used this a number of times and it works great.

$150.00 + postage.

Greg.

Here's a picture of it:

Comes with the Philips software as well.

Also here is some info from Steve who used to modify these cameras:

"these Toucams have a more noise free
image than the later (and still available )SPC900NCs because
of the two circuit board arrangement.
The 900s are very noisy in the blue channel but have a
slightly better driver.

All of these use the ICX-098 CCD and can be modded to
fit the b/w version of that colour CCD. Just drops straight in.
There is also a RAW modification you can do to the
onboard EPROM so it spits out uncompressed data.
That gives more sensitivity and a cheap entry point into
ccd astronomy.

All good incentives for a budget minded tinkerer...."
