Digiscoping with the Swarovski 45x Eyepiece

Wing, The length of the fixed DCA and the zoom DCA are [highlight=red]different[/highlight].

You may have to contact Swarovski Hong Kong direct.

Wing,

After you get the correct DCA I suggest you buy some tennis handle grip tape $40 for 2 rolls (it is not sticky) then wind one complete roll around the 30x eyepiece and it makes the DCA fit nice and tight.

Also position the screw on the DCA so that it is on the 12 o'clock (top) position of the eyepiece.

Cheers

Bob

PS: Eric may need to order the DCA from overseas for you

Wing,

A lovely shot, I am sure you will have fun with the 30x eyepiece, it is a beautiful piece of glass.

Awaiting your next photos

Wing,

How did you attach the Fuji F31fd camera to the DCA ?

The camera has face detection, did it work on the Egret !!

Wing,

A nice job. How much of the F31 camera zoom can you use before you see vignetting (black corners) ?

Bob

PS: Maybe by changing the size of the aluminium plate, the adaptor could fit other cameras.  You may have developed a small business selling adaptors to HK digiscopers !!

Wing,

On the F31 with the lens fully extended, what is the distance from camera body to front of zoom?

The Casio Z1000 the distance is 27mm aprox.

This distance is the crucial thing in buying an adaptor tube.
