Hi All,
I'm new to all this and I have a concern regarding adapters.
All of the 'tube type' adapters, whether home made or commercial, add the camera weight to the eyepiece of the scope. My worry is that, over time, the added weight, which the eyepiece was never designed to carry, will somehow 'pull' the eyepiece out of alignment with the lenses in the scope body thus causing permanent damage to the (expensive) scope.
It seems to me that any of the 'platform' type adapters would be a better design in the long run although, from what I've read here, it would appear that these are less practical in use.
Any thoughts on this from longtime digiscopers would be appreciated as I'm yet to make/buy my adaptor.
