Where to buy ToUCam?

Post by chrisyeo »

Hi

What are the webcams available here that can be used for astro imaging?

How do you think I can get my hands on a ToUCam II for example? Is it only available in Europe?


Cheers!
Chris

An alternative is the Creative Webcam Pro EX. That's what i'm using. Here's a sample image:

That doesn't look bad at all! I hadn't noticed that it was taken with a creative webcam. :)

How many frames were stacked? Do you have any other pictures?

Clear skies,
Chris

i'm not sure how many frames were stacked.....i think about 60-odd. Took the photo on an alt-az mount, so the number of frames before the object drifted out of the FOV is around 60-70....
