Swaro + CP4500 - What else Needed? (1 Viewer)

[Penguin]

Digiscoping adapters can be a bit pricey. I currently use a plastic bottlecap from a Black - Pepper container which fits snugly over the folded-back eyecup on the eyepiece (20-60X).

I cut a hole in the cap that is a slightly larger diameter than the camera barrel. This allows me to quickly orient the camera lens with the scope eyepiece.

Pros:
Cheap
Allows for fast photos
Good in bright light

Cons:
Subject to camera shake (exaggerated in poor light where slower shutter speeds will be required)
Very difficult to follow moving targets

Even if you buy a digiscoping adapter, I recommend the bottlecap as there may be situations where it will be more convenient to use.
