Redbird48oo Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Got my XBox Cam modified today, tried it out in the daylight with my 60MM refractor, works a little bit better than I thought it would. Due to this now, guess the rain will hang around for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestdon Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 i found that mine worked really well during the day but just couldnt get it too focus at night :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyK Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I use a modded Xbox live cam and im really impressed with the results through a 70mm refractor (and im a complete newbie!) Just need to try it through my newly aquired 130mm reflector. Here is a pic I took of the moon with it.registax1stmoonimage.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_132 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 would a xbox cam work well without being modified ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyK Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 To be honest I never tried it unmodified, but it's literally a 10 minute job. Mine looks rough and ready but really pleased and it only cost me 99p from gamestation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal-Wolf Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 You can modify them quite easily but they do get hot and show a lot of hot pixels.I'm currently in the process of cooling one but the weather hasn't let me try it yet. If you look at this thread you can see how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
