Modify a USB Webcam to Take Astro-Photography Pictures
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
Came across this great tutorial, by Gary Honis, while browsing through Make Magazine’s blog the other day on how to modify a webcam so that you can easily use it to take astronomy photos through your telescope. The project looks quite simple and will only require an additional $20-$30 in parts plus an old webcam. He uses a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 however I’m sure you can find a way to do this with just about any webcam. The tutorial site was down yesterday as a result of traffic overload however Gary appears to have put it back up. Link to Gary Honis’s astro webcam…..
