Old webcam

[Starlight 1]

I put the post in here so if you think it will still make a cam I pull it apart.

I was bining a lot of old computer parts and out of the box come a

Philips tocam 750k pro look like a egg. I still working on xp .

Do I turn in to a astro cam it did flash to a 900nc flirmware and works ok on windows 7 or is it just to old for the job it got to be 10 years old.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's one of the main models that is converted for AP.

I believe you can flash it an SPC900

WEB-CAMERAS. Did you know that the SPC880 is recognised as a PCVC750K Toucam Pro 3D in XP ? It will work in XP, the only reason to flash the firmware is to use it in Vista and Win7. The exposure control for the 900 is better too.

This is the last bit to making the two filter wheel ,flip mirror web cam all in one box I put more photo in when it all in the box.

When you flip the mirror to view two led come on in the front panel so you can see the filters seting.

WOW! That looks complicated Looks well engineered though

Hi Gina it much like your flip mirror you are doing ,

all this one is a lot of mirrors sending it round a box the long tube at the back is a barlow len so the lens will be uses on the outside box, the webcan will go on the round part and the filter end go to the telescope.

I forgot to put in its got one more wheel to put in, Wheel 3 will be use for star test and to cut down the amount of sky I put a photo in later so you can how it works.
