Does anyone use the above camera for digiscoping - if so what do you use for an adaptor? Thank you

I've tried this camera with several adapters. For the best results you need a scope with a 2" focuser to eliminate vignetting. I've used the Scopetronics 1.25" Maxview eyepiece but with all my scopes (which are not 2") I got vignetting. To eliminate vignetting with a 1.25" eyepiece you got to enter into digital zoom.
At that point, quality degrades and you get too much magnification.

Thanks for this - apologies for the delay in responding. I think I am going to add to my cameras with a Canon A 95. Andrew
