Think I saw such an adapter on either Telescope Hs. or Green Witch websites.
They're ~£25 I think.
However, M. O'Connell explained to me that you can use the plastic barrell that a 35mm film is stored in to do the same job.
This barrell fits snugly into a 1.25" eyepiece holder.
1stly, you need to remove the ccd from it's housing (yep - there's no going back!!!)
Then just cut the base off the 35mm barrell and tape the ccd in place.
Focusing is critical when in use.
And that's pretty much it.
Correct me if I've left anything out M!
Now this is all new to me too, so I'll be delighted if it's all so easy.

Where would I get the adapter to connect the ToUcam to my telescope?
