Webcam Sensitivity

keith,

I'd be happy to mod a toucam for you if you wany as long as you keep in mind that although I've never managed to mess one up yet, there can always be a first time for everything.

Alternatively you could go for something like a SAC 4-II camera.

Myself and Jed glover have a couple of these on order and they should be here this week coming. According to the blurb they can get down to 11th mag with a 2 second integration. The large format CCD should be great for picking up guidestars

make sure you you get a quality mounting system to mate the two.

Ah yaeh, I've heard of flexure, and can be a real bummer! Any idea where I can get a mounting system to mate an 80mm to a 70mm?? both refractors, Thanks..

Keith,

Telescope-service make a dual scope dovetail for refractors

Note it's shown on the ASGT
I was going to purchase one of these but ended up getting a guiderail for the SCT instead.

Here are some modded webcams from Astronomiser.

Am thinking of selling the NexImage and replacing with the ASTSC1C which could double as a guide camera and planetary camera. ASTSC1BW would make a better guider though but no colour for planets and more expensive.
