[ccdimaging] Re: New to Group

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 if you can point at something far enough away
(say a kilometre) -- more relaxing when you can see what you're doing!
