First webcam imaging attempt.

[kyokugaisha]

In anticipation of buying an SW Explorer 200P and delving into webcam imaging I've been practicing and bodging with my current equipment (an ancient 3 inch alt az newt and equally ancient budget webcam). Collimation went pretty smoothly and I managed to rip open and remove the lens of the webcam. So into the cold night I went and after a bit of fiddling with sellotape(!) and software I actually managed to get some images recorded onto the laptop!

I know the quality is really poor but to be honest I'm just stunned the bits and bobs all came together. I learnt a lot in the two hours of imaging and further two hours of processing and montaging, etc. and I'm actually a bit chuffed.
