Ben, you can use virtually any scope for digiscoping.

Regarding adapters have a good look through this forum, there are several home-made types that might give you ideas and probably best of all, if you can afford £90, is the SRB-Griturn adapter.
But before you buy anything hand hold your camera up to the scope to make sure that is OK.

John

Thanks for your advice John,much appreciated.
 
When I first started Digiscoping I used a Baader Microstage (£30) with my Optolyth scope..So if you don't want to splash out straight away try one. There a bit bulky but sturdy and can be removed easily.

Thanks Vernon.Can anyone else add to my request ?

Hi ben

You might like to contact cley spy in norfolk,they will be familiar with this scope as they have that same model secondhand at present.They also fitted
this particular scope (before I sold it to you!) with an adaptor for use with opticron HDF eyepieces.I'm sure they can provide all the fittings you would need for some digiscoping.If you can't find the products you need from the website it might be best to give them a call..
