Webcam imaging help

[Scorp56 (Peter)]

Hi everyone.

Since finding the IIS site and acquiring my new scope, I have been doing heaps of observing (weather permitting) and have found a few new targets.

I have also just acquired a Philips SPC 900 NC webcam and I'm keen to get into some imaging (apparently this camera is OK for low light imaging).
Can anyone suggest a source for an adapter to fit this camera onto 1.25" hardware on a GSO 8 inch Dob.
Any other suggestions or guidance most welcome
Thanks !!!

Peter

Hi Peter

Great to hear you're enjoying your scope.

With an untracked dob, imaging is quite difficult, but it can be done. Use this guide to get you started:

I'm not sure if there's an easy-fit adapter for a 900nc like with the older ToUcam Pro II, but you could try Mogg Adapters. Otherwise someone else might chime in with some help.
