Hello!

I have a 65 mm diascope. It is a very fine instrument. I cannot say much about digiscoping; I have not tried it.
Do you know this site:
http://www.zeiss.de/C12567A80033F8E4...25728A004ADC71 ?
On the right side you find a downlaod option of a Zeiss brochure, entitled "fascination digiscoping".
I think you may also order a printed version.
It will probably give you some useful information and answer some of your questions.

Regards, Thomas

Yes it's fine, you are welcome to check my gallery or search the gallery for *Zeiss 65mm* to view other examples.


What eyepiece is the best for visual and for digiscoping?

The 23 X is probably "best" for digiscoping but I use the 15-45 zoom for nearly all my digiscoping.


What digital camera compact is good for this spotting,there is some adapter exclusively for this telescope and digital compact camera?

Most small digital cameras will work, I use a Canon A95, the modern equivalent would be the A590, the Nikon 5100 also works and many others will work too, the best thing is to try out the one you want and check for vignetting with the scope, ideally you want to use the least possible zoom on the camera.

Is the 65mm of Zeiss a compact telescope?

It's nowhere near as small as a Nikon ED50 but it's about on a par with other 65mm scopes.

Thank you for your opinions.

Thanks All for the responses and opinions, anyone have compared this scope with others in the same ligue, or with compact spotting like Nikon ED 50 or ED60 III..?

Thanks again,
Paul
