Digiscoping camera (1 Viewer)

squidge said:

Hi, After selling a nikon P6000 I now realise I should not have done so.

I used it on a Swaro 80hd atm and 20-60 zoom lens with a DCA attachment. Should I look for a replacement P6000 or is there another camera that will give the same results. I quite like being able to attach the dca on the threads of the P6000.

Any recommendations thanks,

Ger.

Hi Tord. I viewed your pic's on Flicr - fantastic - well done!

I noticed you use Olympus E620 +++ & I was wondering if I could tap some information re: digiscoping? I am Very new to digiscoping I have an E520 that I have used with mixed success with a DCA that came with my Olivon 60mm scope. With a ring attachment to the body (no lens). Not being very techincal could you explain your set up please?

Hi,

Thanks for feedback.
I am not familiar with Olivon scopes but will try to answer. I have two setups for digiscoping with DSLR.

One is built on a Nikon ED82A scope. To attach the camera body you need a DSLR adapter, in the Nikon case FSA-L1 (or its predecessor, 7468) and a lastly a Nikon-4/3 ring adapter. The DSLR adapter is an optical device that replaces the eyepiece and projects the image on the DSLR sensor.

The other is based on a Skywatcher telescope. The DSLR is mounted using mechanical adapters and extension tubes, no need for optical coupling.
