OK, I know this one has been imaged to death, But I did this one with the webcam before I started fooling around with the Artemis285 camera. Thought I would post it.

I have attached a mid sized thumbnail. A full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Scope was my C8 at f/3.2. The camera is my ToUcam SC3.

I can't believe you extract so much performance out of your ToUcam! Well done.

Excellent shot Jim, wonderful detail & colors!

How about a mass producing SC3 webcams business? wink
Simply amazing!

Well, thank you all for the comments on NGC 3628.

I do enjoy using the webcam - bear in mind, the SC3 mod with RAW firmware makes this a highly modified webcam - like an Atik-2HS Camera.

But after using the Artemis285 (other recent posts), I really do enjoy a 16 bit 1.4 Mpix camera a little better than the webcam.

Thanks again for the comments.
