PHILIPS ToUcam SPC900NC

THE LATEST MODEL - $110AUD MODIFIED FOR LONG EXPOSURE - $250AUD
- 90 frames per second video - USB 2 Compatible - photo resolution 1.3 mega pixels - automatic face tracking The ability for the SPC900NC to be used with a Telescope or Microscope is excellent. The camera can also be modified for long exposure. This allows the camera to pick up faint objects by collecting light, the same as a DSLR camera does on Bulb (B) setting. The following link give details of the Long Exposure Modification if you wish to do it yourself: http://www.home.zonnet.nl/m.m.j.meijer/D_I_Y/spc900nc.htm The ToUcam also makes an excellent Guide Camera. The Long Exposure Modification allows many more faint stars to be used as Guide Stars. Free software from the internet like PHD Guiding can be used: http://www.stark-labs.com/phdguiding.html PHILIPS ToUcam 900NC Plus Software - for Astronomy - or just a great web cam! The Philips ToUcam 900NC Digital CCD Camera can be mounted onto a telescope to produce images on your PC of celestial objects and more.
The camera has the ability of seeing in low light, without snowing, making it excellent for astronomy.

- 1.25" Baffled, Anodised and Threaded for Filters Adaptor $55AUD Unscrew the ToUcam lens and replace with this adaptor for a 1.25" diameter focuser. toucam_adapter toucam_adapter

- 1.25" Threaded, Anodised for Filters Adaptor $30AUD Unscrew the ToUcam lens and replace with this adaptor for a 1.25" diameter focuser. toucam_adapter


- ToUcam T Thread Adaptor $45AUD The ToUcam lens is removed and this adaptor is screwed in its place. It has a T Thread which allows the adaptor to screw onto our 40mm Plossl with T Thread, 2x Barlow/Adaptor/Filter, or Eyepiece Projection Adaptor. telescope toucam_adapter


- Eyepiece Projection Adaptors $45AUD The adaptor is of the common type which replaces the eyepiece in the telescope's focuser. These adaptors allow an eyepiece to be placed into the Adaptor for Eyepiece Projection Photography. The adaptors have a T Thread which screw onto the ToUcam T Thread Adaptor. eyepiece_projection_adaptor

- Variable Eyepiece Projection Adaptors $65AUD Same as above except allows wider, longer Eyepieces, with adjustment. These adaptors allow an eyepiece to be placed into the Adaptor for Eyepiece Projection Photography. The adaptors have a T Thread which screw onto the ToUcam T Thread Adaptor. eyepiece_projection_adaptor

FILTERS The use of the correct IR (Infra Red) Filter makes focusing easier and reduces the bright stars to finer points. - Baader UV/IR rejection Filters $80AUD Spectrum Available. baader_uv_ir


- Schott BG-39 IR (Infra Red) Cut Filters to suit 1.25" Eyepieces $60AUD Spectrum available. IR Filter


- Minus Violet Filters $110AUD Minus Violet Filters are used on refractors or reflectors primarily to negate the effects of Violet and Ultra Violet light, thus eliminating the blue halos around stars and planets. The problem is mainly with refractors, who's light does not converge correctly particularly with Achromatic systems. Minus Violet Filters also reduce light pollution slightly, if the wave length is below around 400nm. Minus Violet Filters
BARLOWS - Achromatic 2x Barlow (with T Thread)/Adaptor/Filter Holder $55AUD This Barlow is able to do a number of things. Firstly, its a achromatic 2x Barlow. Secondly, its a camera adaptor, which is T Threaded, and only the T Thread Adaptor is needed to suit your brand of camera or ToUcam. Photos can then be taken through a telescope at higher magnification without using an eyepiece. Thirdly, the Barlow's lens can be removed by unscrewing for true focal projection photography. Fourthly, with the Barlow's lens removed, filters can be screwed in. - Baader Hyperion Zoom 2.25x Barlow $175AUD - Celestron 2x Apochromatic Barlow $290AUD - Achromatic 3x Barlow $60AUD - Revelation 5x Barlow $120AUD 2x Barlow with T Thread.jpg

FOCAL REDUCERS - Focal Reducers 0.6x $30AUD The focal ratio of your telescope is reduced by 0.6x using the Focal Reducer. eg. F/10 becomes F/6. A shorter focal ratio gives a wider field of view and shorter exposure times. focal_reducer toucam_adapter


- Focal Reducers 0.3x Extender $10AUD (eye observation may be difficult, camera use only) The Extender shortens the focal ratio of the Focal Reducer 0.6x even further giving an even wider field of view. focal_extender toucam_adapter
40mm Plossl with T Thread - 40mm Wide Angle Eyepiece with T Thread $90AUD We are now producing 1.25" (32mm) diameter eyepieces which have a focal length of 40mm and a T Thread on the end. The T Thread enables many adaptors and T Rings to fit onto the eyepiece. The clear aperture lens is flat and positioned close to the end of the eyepiece, to keep it as close to the camera as possible, widening the field. There are a number of advantages to the system. Firstly, a wide eyepiece entry hole (clear aperture) of 26mm allowing a wider field of view for the camera. Secondly, low magnification which doesn't spread the light of the object as much. Magnification is derived by dividing 40mm into your telescope's focal length in mm. Thirdly, other adaptors are not needed to connect the camera to an eyepiece, only a T Ring thread. Fourthly, the eyepiece can still be used as a 40mm. Last of all, the system is less than half the price of other, similar systems. 40mm Plossl with T Thread40mm Plossl with T Thread40mm Plossl with T Thread 40mm Plossl with T Thread toucam_adapter
