toucam help

[starchaser]

can anyone tell me if me toucam pcvc810b is any good for imaging

[geppetto]

I would avoid that one, I think it's one of their cheaper

models which uses a CMOS sensor (less sensitive and noisier than the CCD cameras)

Try to get the Philips SPC900NC camera, this is their latest one and is very

suitable for astro imaging (solar, lunar and planets).

sorry the full name is phillips toucam fun 2 pcvc830k.

This is all new to me thanks everyone

Same thing again, it's the pcvc840K that has the CCD sensor.

This range,Toucam11, are now superceded by the new models

of which the SPC900NC is the best one to go for.

If you can pickup an older 840K then that's fine but you might have

to dig around to find one
