All you need is an adapter. One end is a standard 1.25" connector that slots
in like an eye piece. The other end screws into the webcam. You unscrew the
lens then screw in the adaptor in its place. Any good astronomy store should
be able to supply you with one. I can't remember where I got mine off hand.
I think there is an Astronomy store in Farringdon, central London where I
might have got mine.
BTW Is that a ToUcam or a ToUcam Pro II? Mine is a Pro II and the lens
unscrews. Just wondering if the same is possible with the non Pro version?
