looking to do this fairly cheaply and not averse to buying a cheap(ish) new camera to get id quality photos - nothing special.

the ed50 seems to have a focal point a little way from the eyepiece so something is needed to enable digiscoping between it and the camera.

i've seen some cunning plans from seymour aves re b&q plumbers piping inserted at the eyepiece and found that using the cardboard out of a looroll pared down round the outside of the lens isnt a bad rough and ready attempt to reduce the problem of extreme vignetting to a sensible level.

does anyone else have any bright ideas for a complete novice who would like to shoot some id quality shots as cheaply as possible using the ed50, at present i have a samsung es65 that can be used up to 5x mag or normally.

any heath robinson ideas considered or even better an adaptor i could buy that might actually work and not be too bulky!

would anyone recommend digiscoping sleeves or alignment collars?

cheers,

andy

I just hand-hold a fuji f30.

But then I'm only really after record shots.
