My Very First Toucam Attempt!
Well, here it is, my first attempt with my Toucam!
I hope it worked out OK.
Very cloudy night but I had to try.

Well done Ken!
I was so frustrated with my first over exposed attempts tonight, I deleted them all.

Fiddle with them in Photoshop John. I did with the first pic. The second one I forgot to and accidently left it how I captured it. It's a bit dark, but oh well, I'll get there.

I am picking one up at Avandonks tomorrow (Saturday). It was made for a 16" Reflector so it should hold my 12".

Thanks Robin.
Coz the seeing was so bad these are only 7 seconds of Avi each and stacked with no frames taken out. I gotta learn how to do that yet.
Learning new stuff is fun!

Great work Ken great shots.
Any more of those mounts available Ken?
Once you get that mount your going to have an excellent imaging setup. From what you have achived on the moon, I cant wait to see what you come up with in the future.
