point-and-shoot camera attachment?

[turboscrew]

I wonder how do people get a digital pocket camera attached for digiscoping?

I have Canon A590, and the lens adapter (with 52 mm filter thread) for it. I also bought a 52 mm -> T2 adapter ring, but how can I get the eyepiece between the telescope and the camera?

I bought this: https://www.omegon.eu/projection-adapter/omegon-camera-adapter-1-25-/p,1250 but only one of my eyepieces fit into it.

I've also tried to find a 1.25 mm filter thread -> male T2 adapter, but it seems that more often chickens have teeth than stores sell that kind of adapter.

 

To my understanding, the eyepiece should be as close to the camera lens than a human eye would be when visually observing.

May be something like this?

Maybe I should... I just wondered if I could attach the camera to the filter threads of the eyepieces.

Then again, that holder doesn't cost much more than the mostly useless tube adapter.

And easier to change the eyepiece.

Thanks.

I ordered the Microstage II. I realized that none of my eyepieces had any threads under the eye cup rubber.
