Swarovski ATS80 attached to DSLR?

[marnot]

I have a Swarovski ATS 80 HD scope that I would like to attach to a Canon DSLR. A experienced local camera guru, who isn't that up on digiscoping, has suggested that I might be able to connect the Swarovski zoom eye piece directly to the BODY of the new Canon 300 DSLR. Does this work? Is there an adapter available? Does anyone have experience with this combo?

I am aware of the Swarovski 800 mm adapter that replaces the eye piece. I'm also aware of the Swarovski Digital Camera Adapter that's supposedly now available with a 52mm ring according to one source and would attach the digital camera lense to the scope eye piece just as with the above mention 4500. Does anyone have any experience with this last setup and the Canon 300?

Thanks,
Merl
