Notes from Steve Arlow regarding digi-scoping:
I use a Kowa TSN824 scope with either the 32x wide angle eye piece or the Eagle-eye 10x Digi-scoping eye-piece. The camera is the Nikon Coolpix 995. The camera is attached to the scope eye piece by a London Camera Exchange adapter and the shutter mechanism is the Eagle-eye shutter release arm and bracket. A shutter release cable is then employed to depress the shutter without the need to touch camera or scope.
