I used the body of a cheap plastic barlow, then upgraded to a bit of bicycle seat tube for my lifecam. The passive fan cooling made a noticeable difference.

I've no idea why that link doesn't work for you?, it's still working for me when I try it?

Try Googling Wayne Weedon Lifecam

Link works for me, is Wayne part of Billet Parts (he is a member on here - no visit for a while), is it worth asking Billet to run some out, have seen others looking for one, did FLO carry them at one time?

We did the original lifecam thing and sacrificed a cheap eyepiece, not sure if the camera was worth the trouble.

Kept me happy until I got a ZWO.

It did not work for me either, until I copied it as text and pasted it into a new browser-window, that then brought up the page.

The really odd thing is that having done all that the original link is now working for me, weird !

I have a sneaking suspicion that Solarboy is looking for a cheap camera solution in order to help collimation of a newtonian, armed with an existing Lifecam this adaptor at only £15 would certainly do the job. Pity it's out of stock?
