Widefield trials from Toucam

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

While I am in 'Experimenting Mode' with my Toucam Imaging, I tried a couple of widefields.

I attached a little 6mm Security Camera lens onto the Toucam and mounted it onto a bracket off the side of the scope.

Here is LMC, LMC & SMC and the Toucam mounted off the side (with IR/UV filter taped on the front).

Hey, it was worth a try

Good one Ken

Surprisingly good results. What's the difference between that security camera lens and the ToUcam's original one?

A slightly smaller FOV, and a bit better quality lens

Oh, and that is a genuine Astronomical rubber band holding the Toucam together

Ken that is not half bad for such an arrangement, you sure get inventive.

Good to see you're using a rubber Ken.

I suprise myself half the time, Jase!

I can't afford a DSLR yet so I gotta get everything I can out of what I've got.
And having fun doing it

Looking good Ken.
Better make sure it is an good quality rubber and it doesnt burst.
Small toucams isnt what you want

Well done Ken, that's some great images from the Toucam.

Cheers

But they might grow up to be SBIG's
