Hello All:
Well, it finally arrived, my new digiscoping equipment. I have the Nikon coolpix P1 camera and the Nikon Fieldscope (angled) 82 ED w/30X WA eyepiece.
B&H photo didn't get the order right, as they sent me the Celestron Universal 2" digital camera adapter, instead of the Nikon FSB-3 camera mounting bracket that had been ordered. Hopefully this will get straightened out.
I was so anxious to try this out that I fashioned a simple handheld adapter out of a PVC pipe coupling. Below are some links to photos that I have taken by handholding the Nikon coolpix P1 to my Nikon fieldscope 82 ED.

So you don´t get the wrong idea, there were plenty of blurry ones too!
It will be nice to see how this performs with the correct adapter.
