ToUCam Astronomy
by Simon at 22:18 04/03/06 (Blogs::Simon)
My ToUCam Pro II 840K (plus eyepiece adaptor and IR filter) arrived today...
..., so I grabbed the Mac OS X drivers from IOXperts.com, plugged it into EvoCam and took a few movies for processing with Keith's Image Stacker.

Here's what I managed.

Best single frame of Saturn (raw):

Stacked best 10 images (no further processing):

Whahaha, nice job! I presume you're still somewhat limited by your clock drive?

Actually, I managed to get it working again - albeit with quite a lot of 'slop' - by adjusting the counterweight.

Now it's just the fine tweaks in RA and Dec that's giving me trouble :-)

Time to save up for a newer scope!
