Digiscoping with the G12 (1 Viewer)

The zoom range of the lens is too long for this camera to be practical for digiscoping. About the only kit on the market that MIGHT allow for it is a Kowa scope with the 25x LER eyepiece or VA3 video adapter. Ideally, you want to choose a camera with 3x-4x zoom or 35mm-105mm equivalent focal length.
 
Neil,

What telescopic eyepiece adaptor can I use with my G12 on a Swarovski ATS 80 HD scope. I have tried the 20-60x, 30x and 45x eyepieces and none work

Bob

PS: I have just re read you posting and do you mean I have to buy a televue eyepiece and some adaptor made by Swarovski (any idea of model numbers)

Bob,
This is a discontinued item

but you might find it on EBay.
I use it with the Televue 32 ,25 and 40 mm Plossl eyepieces.
Let's meet up next week in Kowloon park and test them out.
Also the modified Kowa 25x LER eyepiece could work.
