I went out at 2330 GMT to try my Startravel 80 with my SPC880 webcam
with the main intention of trying it on the Pleiades but I was unable to obtain
focus. I tried the Moon instead and it just fitted into the field of view,
suggesting I could photograph about 40 arcminutes with the set-up. Focus was
much harder than with the Mak. I also managed to snap Jupiter’s moons, showing
3 with one very close before the laptop battery ran out. Not surprisingly, I
was unable to capture any planetary detail.
The lunar shot was rather good but the Jupiter image was too jerky to
use.
