Hi
I've been reading quite a lot of posts here but have not found one that answers my confusion.
I'm looking at the Hawke DSLR adaptor which is simply a device that screws into a Hawke scope and it embodies the eyepiece. There are no additional optical elements. The DSLR, without lens, attaches to the other end of the adaptor. So you have: scope, eyepiece, camera (the adaptor just holds them all tightly together).
Talking to Hawke they say that the normal operation of the scope is unaffected, and just by attaching the camera it will also be in focus.
I was under the impression that this technique is used for digiscoping with a camera and lens. How does a DSLR without lens achieve focus?
My knowledge of optical systems may be letting me down here.
Thanks for any help.
