help! i've got a nikon raii.a spotting scope, and now need to buy a new digital camera, so i'm looking to buy a camera that can be used for digiscoping with my scope.
i would like to use the kit day and night, on inspection i've noticed there is a thread to allow attachment to the scope body over an eyepiece, so there must be adaptors available somewhere, also there is a thread at the front end possibly for the attachment of filters? i'm thinking a mylar filter for eclipse photography.
i like the look of the nikon p5100, mostly because i've had a nikon coolpix 3100 and am familiar with the settings operation, and the 5100 is 12 mega pixel which should allow for good quality enlargements.
however i'm prepared to consider any camera of comparable quality/price
if there are plentiful attachments/adaptors for my scope. i'm looking to have maximum options/flexibility.
thanks
steve
