Toucam mods

[mpeniak]

Hi

Could someone explain me the basic differences between SC 1, 2 and 3 mod for toucam please? I would like to try DSO imaging but I have no RA motor on my scope. Is there any way around this which would allow me to photograph DSO with modded webcam but without motors please?

Thanks

Martin

No Martin, a RA motor should be your first port of call.

Thanks for help Gaz. I think I am gonna save some money for RA motor before modding the webcam.

Try a 'wanted' ad at the site below. You never know now people can get GOTO upgrades for EQ5 class mounts - there maybe a few unneeded motor kits knocking about.

Hi Martin,

Take a look at this website - you should find the answers to all of your questions there...

I would just like to comment on the wonderful gesture Phil. has just made to Martin there.

That sort of thing is what makes this site unique in the help members are prepared to give others in the pursuit of the hobby.

Well done Phil, you deserve a knighthood. Others have got them for a lot less than what you just did.

You are to be applauded sir.

Fully agree barkis. Did not really expect I would be able to afford ra motor in such a short time.

Many thanks to Phill!!!!

Guys... remember I'm the one who got a 12" mirror for nothing from a forum member so

a bit of payback is fine by me

[mpeniak]

Many thanks Philip I got it and all works very well. Do you have another motor that can move clouds away? That's only thing I need to start imaging
