Astronomical eyepieces with a Zeiss Diascope? (1 Viewer)

Is there an adaptor available in order to use astronomical (1 1/4 inch barrel) eyepieces such as the Pentax XL and TeleVue Nagler with Zeiss Diascopes? Now, I have seen an adaptor for sale at Anacortes Wild Bird that allows Zeiss eyepieces to be used with astronomical telescopes, but not the other way around.

Any information would be appreciated.

I have bought the Swarovski equivalent , telescope eyepiece adapter and have a 25mm Televue Plossel and a Swarovski 15mm telescope eyepiece. The Televue eyepiece gives similar quality to the Swarovski when results printed up to A4. I understand the Televue 32mm Plossel would be good for digiscoping. The only problem with the Swarovski adapter is that it doesn't lock in and comes loose easily so I can't carry my camera around on the scope.
