Workshop Note
I also included a closeup of my Nikon Coolpix P5000 digicam, and the Televue 28mm eyepiece adaptor coupled with the Nikon UR-E20 adaptor and my Televue 5mm Nagler eyepiece. This setup is lightweight and simple to use and much easier than trying to couple a much larger and heavier DSLR. The digicams have another advantage; they have leaf shutters and are not prone to "mirror slap" like SLRs are.
