digiscoping advice needed.

[wrogers]

Hi there.

I am looking to start digiscoping. I have a Canon Eos 400D dSLR

my budget is £300-600...

basically I am trying to find out how to attach an SLR to a scope, and also which scope to buy....

I have looked at the Olivon T80ED with DCA adapter with a T ring mount.

~(i think DCA adapter attaches to eyepiece and t ring attaches to that, then camera body attaches to the T ring)~

The T80ED is £399 with zoom eyepiece and £50 for DCA adapter plus £20 for T ring.

T90ED is £495 with zoom eyepiece

is this a good buy???

Hi I have a 300d that i attach to a recently purchased Meade etx70atx,Its seems to work ok,Focusing is a bit fiddly,optics are very good,And if your that way inclined can use the autostar function for astrophotography,Cost of scope £129 of fleabay,Canon adaptor ring £13.99 off fleabay,If i remember rightly as a prime lens it equates to a 350mm lens,Next on the shopping list is a 2x convertor,regards Nick.
