Ah, Doctor Frankenstein

Got my £6 Xbox Live Cam today.

Will hopefully get a bit of plastic pipe for it tomorrow and spend Thursday night butchering the little blighter.

The idea (according to this post on the SGL Forum) is to remove the internal LED's (which apparently increase the video noise level), remove the lens focuser and, last but not least, bolt on the piece of tubing to let me insert the cam into the scope instead of an eye piece. How good it'll be for photos when there's no eyepiece, I've no idea. Soon find out tomorrow though.

Worst comes to the worst: I lob the piece of pipe off, and rig the cam to the eyepiece holder or something.

Nurse, scalpel...
