Re: Please Help me find a camera!



  I used Creative's Pro eX model.  It accepts the same eyepiece adapter that
the ToUcam does, and it has the same specs for the most part.  I've been
very pleased with the results I've gotten with it on Mars during this past
opposition season, and with the Moon.  The only thing you need to remember
is that the camera's lens can only be removed by taking the camera body
apart; if I remember two screws and a little prying, but nothing major.  The
camera's lens can only be removed by screwing it inwards, hence the open
camera surgery, but the eyepiece adapter can then be screwed in from the
front.

  If you go this route, and need more advice, drop me some email.

  Good Luck !

  There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to Man.
  It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.
  It is the middle ground between light and shadow,
  Between Science and superstition
  And it lies between the pit of Man's fears
  and the Sunlight of his knowledge.
  It is the dimension of imagination.
  It is an area that might be called. . . The Twilight Zone.
