Digiscoping with a Fujifilm X100V

[Space Oddities]

I was wondering if I could use my Fujifilm X100V for digiscoping. It's a lovely camera but the objective can't be removed. The front has 49mm threads though, so with a simple 49-43mm adapter, I was able to thread it to my Baader 8-24mm zoom eyepiece.

I tried it yesterday and it seemed to work fine, although there is strong field curvature and the eyepiece's narrow FOV shows up on the photos at 24mm. It gets better at 16mm and 12mm. At 8mm it is unusable, a white spot is visible at the center.

For this setup, I used the following:

X100V > 49mm extension (from my lens hood) > 49mm to 43mm step down ring > Baader 8-24mm zoom eyepiece > diagonal > telescope

I was able to get this photo of the Moon, with a Takahashi FC-76 and 2x Barlow
