webcam computer requirements

Posted By Nico Taelman

I have an older 200 Mhz PI and it does the job quite well though slow, in particular the processing. My 450 is way better and the 3Ghz performs excellent. I have used the 450 for years and found it to be more than excellent for a webcam and general image processing. A 1Ghz should do the job great and for reasonable performance even a 500 Mhz.
Hope this helps a little.

ANAGLYPH SITE

Posted By Nico Taelman

Thanks. I'm in a learning stage right now; for building the site as well as for producing the anaglyphs, but I'll get there and if I find it worth the effort, I'll come up with more. I'm having some difficulties for creating the 3-D effect for the foreground and background in one image. I now plan to add some tumbnails as links to medium and high resolution images and also some close-ups on distant features in the scenes.

My best of 2004 Toucam

I really like the first image of the moon-transit. Is it Io? The distorted edge of Jupiter hints at a moon with a considerable atmosphere, or is it an image artifact?
Nice work.

My first true love; Meade 8" f4 Schmidt-Newton, and the ETX-105; my travelscope, both with homemade dewcaps.
