AAARGGGH!!!!

[daz]

Went to do some comet hunting tonight, only to discover my camera has decided to play dead!! :D

So, back to Andy Ellis it goes to see what's wrong this time. Last time it was a little short circuit and no damage.

How frustrating is this imaging lark????

Oh, and to cap it, the "£$%^&* clouds rolled in as well.

:lol:

[FLO]

Hhhmmmm .... I found it without a camera

[daz]

Well yes, I didn't NEED the camera to find it, but some cloudless skies would have helped !!

Hurrumph!

[GazOC]

You have a cloud-proof camera?

I'm sending my Newt to Andy Ellis for the conversion....

[OXO]

Shame Daz, was you gonna use that Lens and adapter for ya toucam mate?

[daz]

Was gonna give it a go James!!

And tonight is going to be clear as a bell as well!!! BIG Hurrumph!

I'll rent it out, if you like! Reasonable rates, guv!!

[GazOC]

Daz,

Just a thought, why don't you get a Toucam and leave it unmoddified as a spare? At least then if your main one breaks you can still get some images on the few clear nights we have.

What thread size? Can you helicoil them or do you need to go to the next bigger size?

Captain Chaos

[mark RD]

No I think I will need to go to the next size, You can almost just drop the screw in the hole

Good News!!!!

The cam is back and fit and functional again.

Turns out a tiny drop of moisture had got under one of the chip contacts and corroded.

Andy has fixed and I have it on my desk, just pleading to be used!!!!!

He really is a top bloke

Incidentaly, Andy (Astronomiser) now does his own range of cameras - see www.astronomiser.co.uk for details
