Listen very carefully,

I shall say zis only once...

Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000 Webcam

Quickcam Pro 3000 Long Exposure Modification

Do not confuse this camera with the lesser QuickCam 3000... this is the Pro version with the ccd sensor. Also, the above mod link is not the only one, but you have to do some research yourself!

Even unmodded, there would be very little to touch these cameras for planetary imaging until you spend significantly more money.

*** See next post - turns out these *are* the lesser QuickCam 3000 after all ***

Right - it appears that the seller listed these wrong picture of the wrong cams at the wrong price... so they are cmos and poo, sorry! Not the Pro at all.

dang, thought that would make a nice colour quickie cam next to the skynyx for parallel mount imaging..

Can those who know there chips take a look at the piccy in this auction and see if it really is a CCD (it's not an easy piccy to see though ? If so conversion looks to be an absolute doddle.

[Milamber]

I get a page not found for that?

**edit - searching on the number though, it looks suspicious but - you and I have a different meaning for modification? I mean modding to long exposure where I suspect you mean poking a 1.25" adapter on the end?

Sorry to awaken an old thread, has anyone had success with this? This is the only instruction guide that shows switches instead of a parallel port or serial port to control the exposure. I'm assuming that the switches are strictly for opening and closing the shutter?
