Nice and deep Ken!! even though your poor toucam is on its last legs you can still do amazing things with it!
You will have to get a new one soon!! one with the amp off mod done too!!
cheers Gary
detail and color look very good!
the gradient - what is the oriin of this?
Thanks Dietmar.
The download Amplifier sits on the corner of the chip in many cameras. It emits heat and electromagnetic field, which affects the chip on long exposures. With the Toucam is is very noticable.
It can be made to turn off, and only come back on when the image is ready to download to the computer, but it's a Modification that's beyond my capabilities of doing.

Yep Gary, it would be great to have 'Amp off'. Then I could go even deeper, like I really want to do. I want to tease out more distant Galaxy Clusters.
Or get a much better camera.
EDIT: I forgot to put this in the 1st post: NGC 1313 was approx 18 degrees above the Horizon!!! Seeing 3/10 due to fog and wind, Trans 6/10. Temp -3c.

Thanks Alex,
My next 'You Tube' instalment comes out when I have enough new images to finish it. It is about half done, just waiting for me to get some good images of new stuff.
The new video has an interesting start to it but I'm not giving any hints. You'll just have to wait
can see colour in it too, very deep for a webcam well done
Scott
Thanks Scott. That's with an Astronomiks IR/UV Filter too. Not bad colour considering I am already struggling to get good images and the filter knocks it down about another 5%.
Ken,
Are you having a public funeral for the Webcam, or will it be a private affair?
It has surely "gone where no webcam has gone before"
Any hint's as to what the next camera will be?
Great work, BTW.

Might just shoot it at high noon!
No hints as to the next camera, coz I don't even know It's all down to dollars which direction I go. At present I might be able to spring for a $29 webcam at Officeworks
