[APML] OT: Webcam/DSLR interface

["Chris Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi all -

I thought I would ask the list since I know many of you are also using a
webcam and/or a DSLR for imaging.

My question is in regards to trying to rig up a interface between a ToUcam
Pro webcam and a DSLR viewfinder (Nikon D1x, D2H, Canon 1D and/or 1Ds).  I'm
basically wanting to use the ToUcam in place of my eye.  This is
non-astronomy related, BTW.

I know from using the ToUcam that the plastic lens it uses is fairly wide
angle.  Without removing the ToUcam's lens, how would I adapt the webcam so
it would be able to see the entire viewfinder on the DSLR?  My thoughts are
that I would need some sort of lens assembly between the DSLR and the webcam
itself.  I hope this is clear.

Thanks for any help!

Chris
