[QUOTE="bluedubius, post: 1409076, member: 29581"] Nice first results, Allan. I started digiscoping with a Meade ETX-90 and Nikon Coolpix 995 years ago with 32mm Orion Highlight Eyepiece afocally as you are doing here. I had much better results shooting straight-thru the rear port with no erecting prism. You are looking at an inverted image when you are shooting, but you would be surprised how quickly you adapt to this. The image can be easily corrected in post processing. I also got better results shooting thru the top viewing port using the 90 degree flip mirror. There are some images in my gallery using the ETX-90. Good luck. Rick [/QUOTE]
