Lumix LX3 with Nikon ED82A scope (1 Viewer)

[sjackal]

I have the Nikon ED82A scope and I also have a Panasonic Lumix LX3. Are these two compatible for digiscoping? What adapters do I need to obtain to get going?

Thanx in advance.

Yes is the answer. Worked well with my Opticron. It is the eyepiece size that is relevant rather than the scope. I attached mine by buying the 52 mm adapter tube that screws on the front; make sure you get the type with a deep front end. Cut a piece of standard plumbing pipe into about an inch length (you can play with this to get it right), split it down one side to make it a flexible tube. I then got some sticky Velcro (the fluffy side, not the hook side) and used that to pack out any spaces between the pipe and eyepiece/adaptor. It fitted well. Unfortunately my LX3 developed a fault so I haven't got that set up to show you any more.

Thank you, you gave me a good idea of how to do it! I am ordering the adapter now.
