Cheap Toucam Pros

Here are 2 pics of Saturn I got, one without and one with the IR filter.

Which one do you think is made using the IR filter?, I used the same scope and toucvam for both of these. To be honest, there are other factors like seeing and focusing issues at play here also.
BUT I took quite a number of saturn images on numerous nights before I got the IR filter and none approached the one which I got using the IR filter.

A good test some night is to take 2 videos of a planet one with and one without the filter, that will tell for sure.

And what's an IC : :oops:

Integrated Circuit, those black chips inside electronic stuff.

Thanks d. Knew it was s.thing simple :!: :roll:

Quite a difference with the filter- I'm impressed!

Well my new WebCam has arrived now after been ordered on Thursday (i love buying from Pixmania), now I just have to buy all the other things that go with it that I didn't realise I needed to buy. My credit card is going to be sorely hit this month :lol:

You're getting away light, I'd say d.
That webcam was bought by others for >=€100.00 :!:
The lot should come in at ~ the cost of the webcame when 1st introduced.

Anyway look at the fun we'll all have .

BTW I ordered mine on the same day.
The progress report says that it landed at Shannon Fri. am, so it's currently rolling around in the back of the van with the Irish fella :!: :roll: .
