Speaking of webcam's . . . does anyone on the Utah Astronomy listserv have any information about building one's own webcam recorder that is adapted for astrophotography? If someone does, we could communicate offline to keep the traffic controlled. Aside from cost savings, I like the idea of building my own recorder - at least initially. I was going to build the Cook Book CCD, but that is no longer possible since chips are no longer available for that CCD. I recently read on article in either S&T or Astronomy that whetted my appetite to make a webcam substitute for the CCD.

Amazing webcam image obtained from this humble classic 6-inch newtonian (I'm still the original owner of a vintage 1972 RV-6, still my preferred grab-n-go scope)... --------------------------------------------------- This was captured with a Philips ToUcam Pro webcam through a Tele Vue 2x barlow with an extension tube: http://www.unm.edu/~abqtom/images/Planets/Saturn/2004-03-22-TEW-Sat.jpg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
