[QUOTE="mcepjg, post: 1690319, member: 27259"] Since starting this thread I have done a lot of research. It turns out that there are users that use the MC20 eyepiece successfully for digiscoping. Whilst its not designed for digiscoping like the DS eyepieces and there for is not very compatible with the Nikon Digiscoping system (extra connectors are needed, this does not appeal to me as I have a canon anyway) it can be used with a universal adapter (my favourite so far is the SRB griturn, as I have heard the Olivon adapter needs modifications before it fits this piece of kit, the SRB adapter is a swing adapter which I think would be best for my camera as the LCD screen isn't very high resolution so this type would be convenient for focusing the zoom before fine tuning, srb griturn also do remote shutter releases). Since british conditions are rarely very bright it would be an excellent eyepiece for dull days & digiscoping perhaps complemented with a 27x (I don't know whether DS or MC is better) for use on brighter days and for better IDing. However if I was to choose only one eyepiece and wanted to dabble at digiscoping this is the one I would try as the Zoom has only a small FOV. Hope this helps anyone who is interested if anyone is.
