PST issues

[AstroTiger]

Hi Guys

As always, this cranky chap is having issues

Could someone please advise on how to gain a propery image from the PST with a toucam pro +

To date i have purchased the shorter screw in adapter.

However even upon streaming it through K3CCD tools, i am getting a kind of orange on the outside with black on the inside

is this a contrast issse?

I know i am being silly, but can anyone walk me through the idiots guide for doing this.

And believe me it is worthwhile, cos i intend to document it and make it available to other amateur astronomers, who are trying to enter this new exciting form of solar observing

Many thanks in advance

anyone?

You might need to fit a Barlow lens to the nosepiece to get it to focus, and it might be worth trying the Toucam in mono (setting in K3CCD Tools).

You might find this web site useful http://www.astro-imaging.de/astro/articles.html - it talks about the ToUcam 740, but it should be applicable to your set up. Note the section on using an IR filter - if you don't have an IR-filter in front of the web cam sensor, your images will always look out of focus.
