SLR Digiscoping. (1 Viewer)

I have been a digiscoper for 2 years now, and have an Opticron GS665 scope, I have recently brought a Canon eos 400D with a small lens (something like 35-55mm) and rather than buying a propper lens i was thinking of combining the 2, and getting an adaptor to fit my camera to the scope. just i have no idea where to start!
Any idea's??

Hi,

Digiscoping with DSLR is challenging but can provide really good results. The topic is discussed in several threads on this forum. I suppose you intend to attach the camera body to the scope, through the means of an adapter that replaces the eyepiece?

These threads may be a good starting point, perhaps not answering specifically regarding the Opticron options but should give an overview of what is ahead of you:
