    did it.. this actually works.. very good instructions.. you might want to use photo film or insuline/medicin containers as plastic tubes, and the little light in the webcam you can cover with a bit of tape too.. i used grey tape… my pictures of the moon i used to make mosaics , they are on my blog… and pleae please be care full with these stanley knives…..lol… i wasn’t.. (;

    My Video Talk is a great “Delivery Vehicle” AND “Content is KING!”
    SO, I have a business that produces content the easiest way possible – powerpointtoyoutube[dot]com

    Just record yourself giving YOUR presentation [with a Wal-mart C-270 HD webcam $29 or Logitech's BEST C-910 1080p HD webcam for about $65], send me the slides and audio track

    - 48 hours later for only $249 you’ll have a Professionally produced Video to use on YouTube, your web page, on CD, DVD or in email

    Hello. Did you try stacking images ? like recording an AVI then using one of those free stacking software available on the web. You might just loose that bluring ang get higher contrast and brightness. You could also align them with some of those software.

    I wouldn’t call that great pictures to be honest..

    Focus

  18. jorowi says:

    Don’t forget that the “lens” on the digital camera acts just like an eyepiece. You could use a barlow lens but I found it extremely difficult to get images into focus.

  19. Maxsapd says:

    Use a barlow lens?

  20. Maxsapd says:

    No.. You need to slide it into a telescope focuser.

  21. fobgirl19 says:

    One person mentioned better magnification using this, I’d like to mention magnification will be a trade off with clarity, by adding more focal length, its like using a Barlow lens which if you dont have could save you about 10$. I wouldn’t add more then 2-3 inches to the focal length
