Just posted a general report and images from a DCM used on a Kowa TSN3 is Cornwall a week or so ago on the Newpro website.

Click here for link then click on the DCM image link & follow the obvious link on the DCM page.

OK, I wrote it, but it's been written from an honest point of view having been given free rein to do just so.

What you see is what you get from using it with a Kowa TSN-3, a better 'scope should give marginally better results.

ATB,

Dave.

Looks like an affordable device, but a universal adapter would sell more of them.

The problem with universal adaptors is they work badly on all scopes

They've picked the quality scopes that are capable of doing good digiscoping and made them work well (though in some cases the require the scope proprietary adaptor.

Of course a common system like the Tamron thread (T-adaptor/T-thread/T-mount) would be nice but I wouldn't hold my breath. The Tamron became popular for that usage rather by accident.
