Wow! Thanks everyone, that's a big rap. I am so happy with the results, pity a lightning storm had to come and ruin the rest of the session. The seeing was 9/10!!!! Best I've seen it for about 2 years.

Andrew, when I step up, I won't be selling the Modded Toucam. I will pass it along. And hopefully whoever gets it will also pass it along too.

Al, although cooling will decrease the amount of Amp Glow, the Toucam will still give star blooms even when cooled. There's only so much light that will fit into the pixels on a Toucam before they overflow and flood the surrounding pixels.

Yeah, I know the problem well, Ken. I was just being a bit cheeky since HOughy's cooled camera is performing so well! Hence the "".
But I always like it when someone can push something simple/cheap/inferior to perform like something more complex/expensive/superior...
The best YOU can do with a ToUCam?
I think that might be the best that ANYONE can do with a ToUCam!
Dunno Nick, I haven't seen many DSO images by Modded Toucam on the net. Maybe I'm just putting mine up so people can see them and there may be others who put there's in obscure places which are hard to find, I dunno
Surely there must be others getting results somewhere, or the Modded Toucam wouldn't have got its reputation as a good DSO mod in the first place.
They're excellent for a toUcam!
