Was wondering if anyone has tried the Nikon V1 (2.7X crop factor) with an astro scope? It would be a pretty expensive experiment, as you would need at least the camera body and the FT-1 adapter, but the digiscopers are quite wild about it with spotting scopes.

I have done this and it works rather well. Here's an example. I have some comments on the camera in the setups thread.

Thanks, Aegea. I'll have a look at your comments.
