Xbox Camera

After a sucessful test with the old webcam I was finally ready to adapt and use the better Xbox camera.

The main concern was keeping dust off the image chip so I was cautious throughout this mod. I decided to make a dust cap first for the telescope adapter:

Firstly I had to prise apart the camera... If done gently you can still keep the outer body looking tidy:

The front body requires a little "modding" to allow the adpater room to fit onto the image chip:

The a quick removal of the original lens:

and fit everything back together:

I also removed the base as it wont have much use now its ready for a telescope... Cant wait to try it and the forecast is good for tonight!

Will start with some images of Jupiter as I know from the old camera what to expect...
