Hi Erick, this is what I have done so far with QuickCam...
You can see how CCD is put forward, closer to the scope.
The cooling is not there yet, but now there is enough space for cold finger and peltier, this will happen one day....
All the parts are from Bunnings (plastic glands for cables), except 1 1/4" barrel, this was machined all the way to 1 1/4' and plastic nut was glued inside.
The same thing I plan to do with my TouCam.
If you are still interested, I believe I can organize the machining for you this weekend.

Bojan, I think I'm probably OK, thanks, with what I have done so far. But I like the idea of lifting the CCD chip on several sockets, if I'm still not in focus. I'll have a look at mine and see if that is possible to do while retaining the threaded tube. Unsoldering might be a bit delicate?
