I want to mount my camera on a scope. Now a tool for that passes the K.I.S.S. test. Got digital camera? Got 'scope? Lash them up! Putting your camera on a telescope or microscope--or just about anything that has an eyepiece under 51mm in diameter--just got easier. ...or at least it will when these puppies start delivering. EagleEye of the UK has just announced the DigiMount Adapter, a lens to eyepiece adapter that marries the two instruments together. Simply screw your camera lens to the adapter and mount the adapter on your scope eyepiece. It fits over 99.9% of all eyepieces and holds the camera securely to the optical center of the exit pupil of the scope. You can adjust the entire rig in or out of the emerging cone of light in order to intercept the optimum spot from which the camera experiences little or no vignetting, too. It's not a complex product, just a good one. Price has not been announced yet. Stay tuned.
