OK, this is an old video, but if you are still around, thank you, it has been really helpful to me.

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed to know. I have just been putting my camera up to the eyepiece and shooting. I usualy get one good picture out a hundred shots. This helpful information should increase the frequency of my obtaining good pictures.

Brilliant ! So I need a smaller camera I think ?... I was using a Camcorder with x50 zoom and it was looking inside the Scope !

This explains a bit about why my nicer Nikon with a 28mm lens makes a huge vignetting effect.

actually a small cheap camera with small focal length is best for digiscoping.
Awesome!

good video But IMO shows a large k of of understanding in terms of camera technology. I'll explain my reasons for thinking this. the human eye has one lense with a focal length of about 50mm. the compact cameras have multiple lenses in them used for focusing so straight away is unlike the human eye. the optical zoom on the compact cameras can be far more powerful then the human eyes fixed 50mm. a dslr camera however with a cropped sensor is roughly 28.5mm focal length but being cropped is more accurate to a 50mm focal length hence closer the human eye. also by not having any glass/lenses between the sensor and scope the eyepiece it self works as the eyes lense and therefore uses the scope to its best abilities without the zoom of compact cameras effecting the results. this is my understanding of things and if I'm wrong please correct me explaining why so we can all learn. thank you.
