Scopetronics EZ-Pix II (Large version) ...or the same product sold as Baader Microstage 6030. It will connect almost any of your eyepieces with almost any digital camera. Your Sony P8 should work very well in digiscoping. :t:

Good luck,

I have the Scopetronix EZPIx 11 and was not very happy with it. It looks more substantial in the photo than it is and is a bit clumsy to attach and to center. The bird is usually long gone by the time you swing it into place and align it . There are some third party adapters I've seen for Sonys that screw into the tripod thread but I would start out hand holding the Sony to the rubber eyecup of your eyepiece or fitting a short tube over the eyepiece as a guide for the lens. Many people people are quite happy to keep it simple . Neil.

thanks .imay give both ideas a try.
