This was the place. I'm sure there are plenty of other places that sell them too.

Thanks for that Albert. Yeah, looks like it's only the online stores that stock them.
Looks like my replacement PST is the same as yours, so I'll only be removing the extension for imaging - if I can get through whatever crazy glue they used.
If you are having problems maybe the neximage is the way to go. Same CCD as the Toucam but the CCD is only recessed a few millimetres into the body of the camera.
First though, if you have a cheap webcam you could try this excellent compromise - it will definitely get you in focus.

Hi Albert,
Very good image there, Makes me think why I've been neglecting our own star.
Well done.
