This actually convinced me of NOT making a telescope imager out of a webcam (or at least not that webcam)! 😉
I wonder if it was all really necessary… like removing the lens: would it be THAT bad to leave it in and just focus it through the lens(es)?
the color is off because you probably removed the IR filter as well
Did you take off the IR filter?
Make.a video of it at Night of the Stars and sky
Great fun:D This is either sad or genius ! Happy Star watching 🙂
Did you ever get a chance to do a planetary or lunar test?
One can also carefully disassemble the device using a screwdriver. Mine had the screws hidden, but Ifound them. :0
tested it yet?
Tim nice but dim, the master butcher lol. I was cringing while you were using that damn knife. All joking aside, I hope it worked for you, have you used it yet?
Awesome!
Obviously not a ‘Blue Peter’ fan. Here’s one I made earlier.
Do You have still this camera or old lens holder? Can You check for me the hole spacing for original lens holder?
Cheers!
Hi Daniel, I am working on this for a physics project at school, could you possibly link where you got the film canister from please? much appreciated
Daniel, you only need to cut a 1/2″ hole in the film canister lid. A hole punch makes a nice clean hole.
Wow….this dufus so needs a Dremel……..lol!!!
