Great image Wes! Good to see you posting again. My new Toucam 840 should be in tomorow, along with a TV 3x barlow. Yes... I'm coming over to the dark side smile.

Toucam 840 first light

Posted By Jose Suro
Thank you all for the encouraging comments! As Ralph said it will be really hard to go back. It's great to look at the screen and wysiwyg the image until it's just right. I'm using the trial K3CCD 2 BETA with the WDM mode on the 840 and it allows you to see the sequence as you shoot it. Great stuff.

Thanks again,

Need help with adapter

Posted By Jose Suro
Hi Randy,

Hutech carries all the Borg adapters and there are so many it gets really confusing but I'm sure you can find what you're looking for there. Their stuff is top of the line. The website:

Yu Gu and Carlos - I didn't change the orientation on the image so the one here is straight as it came out of the AVI. I shoot through the diagonal so the image is inverted in both axis.

Richard - I have no problem with you using the as wallpaper.

Hi Ivan,

Vey nice images. Focus is tack sharp with excellent detail. One suggestion would be to lower the contrast in Registax before going to PhotoShop. It seems that you might be darkening your images a bit much to bring back the detail in the center of the disk. I've found that as you wavelet process or unsharp mask the contrast increases. The tendency is to then darken the image to compensate. Excellent shots though.

Best,

Jose
