Would it be possible to use a digital camera to photograph the cones through
the spy hole and look at the result in the little viewing screen on the back
of the camera? Maybe a camera with a bit of a zoom so as not to have to hold
it too close. With auto-focus and auto exposure setting, no need to look at
anything directly. Does that sound feasible?
Just musing on cone viewing, and as my kiln won't arrive for another 6 weeks
or so (yippeee!), I can't try this myself, yet. Actually, I don't have a
digital camera either, so even when it arrives I won't be able to try this, but I
just wondered.

Blow hard into the top bung hole, the cool air will allow you to briefly
see the cone quite clearly.
I frazzled the ends of my fringe, because I forgot about it, take care, but
it does work,
In October of this year I have been at my workshops for 5 years, but I can
still remember how exciting it was when it was all (relativly) for an ex
thatchers yard, nice and clean and shiny.
Good potting Jenny,
Best Wishes

Dear Jenny Lewis,
It could be that the excessive amount of infra red radiation might
destroy the CCD elements. Heat radiation might also have a bad effect
on the lenses, be they glass of some sort of plastic.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.

Hi Ivor
Thank you for your helpful information. I hadn't thought about the IR
radiation affecting anythign in the camera, and even though I don't understand how
they work, that sort of makes sense. I was mostly thinking about the melting -
which would mean a zoom lens so as not to get too close!
I think I'm back to plan A - proper goggles.
Jenny
