Instead of bringing the PST focal plane out using a Barlow I put a small webcam in, further down the eyepiece holder. The webcam in question is a PCWorld (UK) 'PCL100K'. The body is no larger than a golf ball, the board inside is exactly 1 1/4" diameter. I mounted the board in an old 35mm film pot, et voila,webcam solar imaging. -------------------- Jc ATM 10" F6.1, 1/25th wave spec (max wavefront error +/- 1/12.6 in zone 4 of 6, sodium light ) 6" F7 spec 127mm F9.4 Refractor 10 x 50 bin ETX80 (finder) Canon 20D and a curious mind Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on PST webcam will focus John Carruthers 04/02/07 08:46 AM Re: PST webcam will focus WayneReed   04/03/07 01:24 PM Re: PST webcam will focus John Carruthers   04/04/07 03:59 AM Re: PST webcam will focus nytecam   04/04/07 01:27 PM Re: PST webcam will focus John Carruthers   04/04/07 02:10 PM Re: PST webcam will focus nytecam   04/04/07 05:54 PM Re: PST webcam will focus John Carruthers   04/05/07 03:23 AM Re: PST webcam will focus nytecam   04/05/07 05:22 AM Re: PST webcam will focus nytecam   04/03/07 04:51 AM Re: PST webcam will focus John Carruthers   04/02/07 08:47 AM Re: PST webcam will focus John Carruthers   04/02/07 08:48 AM Re: PST webcam will focus darkstar528   04/02/07 08:56 AM Re: PST webcam will focus John Carruthers   04/02/07 10:43 AM Re: PST webcam will focus Zoomster   04/02/07 12:22 PM Re: PST webcam will focus jgraham   04/02/07 09:29 PM Re: PST webcam will focus Ralph Marantino   04/02/07 09:38 AM Re: PST webcam will focus darkstar528   04/02/07 10:22 AM Extra information 4 registered and 3 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
