The digiscoping setup I've got now is the Nikon Fieldscope with the eyepiece removed. I have an adaptor that screws into the scope eyepiece socket with a Nikon screw fitting on the other end. Finally I connect my Nikon D60
I was all ready to go and the camera display was blank! The basic checks revealed no obvious problems; full battery, memory card installed, lens cover removed.
I was getting a Menu display appearing in the LCD screen as normal, but no image was being displayed. Nothing through the viewfinder either
I tried selecting various settings on the Mode dial but nothing made a difference. I had another look at the camera in the daylight today, when not attached to the Fieldscope, but I couldn't get an image at all through the viewfinder. That sucks!
Fortunately, I also have a Canon EOS 700D
I've been doing enquiries for an adaptor for the Canon camera and found a possible answer to my dilemma in the form of a Canon EOS SRB Digiscoping kit available from this website - https://www.srb-photographic.co.uk/cano ... 9543-p.asp
I emailed the company today to check that it would fit my model camera and they said it would be okay. Unfortunately, (and there always seems to be an unfortunately in there somewhere for me) they don't have the size of adaptor I require. They suggest buying the next size up from the current diameter of your eyepiece as it fits over the top of it. My eyepiece diameter is 37mm, so the next size up is 40mm. That model is currently out of stock :flame:
When will I get some good luck :Boo:
Anyway, I've put myself on their mailing list to be notified when new stocks come in, so I guess I'll just have to be patient. I suppose it may be available elsewhere, but I haven't done any searching as yet. Maybe I should :sigh:
