Looked out to see if i could have a crack at orion later in the night. Looking East, looked promising nice and cle.........what was that i say as the world lights up from the north west.

hmmmm a thunder storm, oh well go to bed..... hang on.... lets go get the toucam......

went to 1/100 of a sec, gain about 75%, everything else was about normal from star settings.

I am very happy with this little toucam, very versatile!
