Testing my xbox cam

[Csuka]

The skies weren't clear last night so i tested my cam mod by taking some pictures of the mountain behind my house, i took these pictures of some goats from just under half a km away.

The skies are meant to be clear tonight so i look forward to trying to get a few pics of saturn.

Very pleased with the outcome of my cam as it only cost me £4 to make and i would recommend making one to anyone, as it doesn't take long and the xbox cam is cheap and easy to get =)

I will look forward to seeing your pictures, because I am currently waiting for a xbox camera to arrive (courtesy of fleabay) myself to be used with my scope. Here's hoping for a clear sky....

At £4.99 a piece including P&P it would be silly not to give them a try.

Just brought mine on fleabay too

I have just received a xbox cam (cam number 2 as the Royal Mail kindly lost the original one I ordered ) and am about to mod it for my scope....

The photos of the goats look a little creepy! Did they know you were taking pictures of them
