Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ] Hello all! I'm a new member to this interesting group and would like to ask some questions. Firstly, I plan to buy a logitech quickcam 4000 PRO for some planetary imaging with my 10" LX200. I've heard, and seen, that this cam is good for that purpose. Secondly, I also intend to use the LX200 as a platform for some piggiback astrophotography. Regarding this, does anyone here have experiences with a webcam as an autoguider? I have found a program called AstroSnap which claims to do the trick. But will the exposure times for an unmodified webcam be too short for this purpose? I mean, what mag. is the limit? Anyways, how long is the max exposure time for an unmodified QC4000 PRO? Any info is greatly appreciated! Regards, JP Next message: HG LINDBERG: "[QCUIAG] noise" Previous message: Carsten A.
