For $9 in parts, I made this collimator for my Toucam this morning. Last time out, I noticed that my web cam optical path is not exactly square to the CCD as I rotated the camera. Here is my attempt to straighten it out. I am not sure if anyone else has observed this or if it will work. With poor skies ahead, I may try to characterize this modification with my artificial star. Before eventually jumping up to a mono camera I was hoping to make basic improvements to the toucam imaging first. If it works, I'll post the results.
