kowa TSN-1 digiscoping advice needed (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice on digiscoping.
I have a Kowa TSN-1 with a 30*wide angle eyepiece.
Could you suggest a camera and relevant attachments that work with this scope. Most universal adapters are large bulky brackets and I am not keen on these, a friend suggested using a TSN-DA1 adapter. I would like to hear any suggestions you have as to combinations of compatible cameras and adapters.

Try a pendant lamp or light fitting. The "skirt" will fit snug into the 30w eyepiece. The Fujif30/31 just slots nicely in. You may have to file the inside threads off the skirt but it's plastic so very easy. If the fit is a bit loose, just wrap some electrical tape around the outside.I'm sure the DA 1 works well with some cameras. It just didn't help me. I only discovered this yesterday..out of sheer desperation! It's rather dark in my flat now!
Hope this helps.
