NIKON 60mm RA-II with Canon cameras (1 Viewer)

Hi, everyone!
I have a Nikon angled 60mm RA-II scope, several years old, and have tried digiscoping with a Canon A-75 compact digital. Results are not very sharp. I made a decent alluminum adapter with 52mm thread at the camera end, and properly threaded at the scope eyepiece base.
Have other Canon compacts (A-630, S3IS): The 630 is apparently incompatible (too much vignetting) and have not tried the S3IS, for lack of filter adapter.
Have now also 300D (Digital Rebel) SLR, and would be grateful for any help and suggestions as how to make the most of the scope and cameras.
Regards,
Alberto,
