ccd cam for sky watching
the toucam's on there look completely different to what they really are,
have this company redesigned the camera particulary for astronomical use? Looks tempting, anyone got one of them? what they actually like? "Robin Leadbeater" wrote in message ...

Looks tempting, anyone got one of them? what they actually like? They originally sold modded Toucams in their original case, plus the usual screw in adapter. They have now moved to these in purpose built cases with air cooling. It may be partly because there is not enough room in the new replacement Toucam II to fit in the mod electronics. The spec appears to be the same as the Steve Chambers modded Toucam and I understand they are one of only two companies licensed by him to sell cameras using the mod. (The other is SAC imaging) Are you a member of QCUIAG? (If not you should definitely join) If you ask there you will get feedback on Perseu quality (I do not own one, having built my own cameras but have not seen any bad reports) Robin ---------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Leadbeater N54.75 W3.24 www.leadbeaterhome.fsnet.co.uk/astro.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
