Hello all!! I am new to the group so let me tell you a little bit
about myself. I am a radio frequency shielding designer who is
interested in astronomy and astrophotography. I own a Celestron
Nexstar11 GPS and a Meade ETX-125EC. I have purchased a Philips
SPC900NC webcam and have modified it to fit on each of my telescopes
with a Mogg Adapter. The problem I am having and I hope someone out
there can help me is that I can not get the webcam to focus. I see the
screen changing when I adjust the focus knob but it is just fuzzies.
If I am missing something please let me know. I am also a member of
the Yahoo Toucam group and have asked the same question but it has not
made it through on two attempts.

Thanks in advance!

Casey

I have a similar system for my ToUCam (home made) and it can only fail if the scope can't focus at the plane containing the CCD. You can check it in daylight...
