I have been looking at an easy way to take photos through my
Swarovski ATS80HD scope.
I have tried the universal camera adaptor. This is very hard to
setup to get the camera fully aligned. And you need to carry it
around with it attached, which makes everything more cumbersome.
Recently, I saw Peter Taylor using a different setup which was very
easy. He used the Swarovski DCA Zoom Adaptor with a Canon Powershot
A540 and a Canon LA-DC52C Conversion Lens Adaptor. It is basically a
tube that slips over the eyepeice, with the digital camera
attached. It takes only a few seconds to setup. It is better to
have a remote for the camera to reduce shake when you take the photo,
but it works quite well.
So I went to a local retailer today to check this out. They can get
the DCA adaptor in, but they say that there are no longer any cameras
that can be attached to it. Is this correct? They suggested that
the Canon G12 might be possible, but that is fairly expensive (about $700).
Any suggestions?
