I will be getting back to images taken with the Artemis camera soon, but I wanted to process a batch of data from earlier sessions with my ToUcam. Here is M10 the second globular on this session in Ophiuchus (M9 was posted earlier). I have attached a mid size thumbnail. A full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Scope was my C8 at f/5, Camera was my ToUcam SC3
Total exposure time was about 22 minutes

Nicely resolved to the core.

Jim, sometimes I look at your pictures and completely forget that they are all captured with a Toucam... simply amazing!
Makes me wonder WHY you would need to upgrade, being that this one is working so nice... (if you ever plan on selling it, let me know... wink )


Take goop care, and thanks for sharing! 8)

Greg, Ivan,
Thanks for the comments - much appreciated.

Ivan,
I think I will be upgrading to something at some point in time - probably sooner than later. Yes, the ToUcam may see little use at that point. But selling it - ouch! perhaps I am too sentimental and have grown to attached to it. It seems too much like an old friend.
