[Tweeters] Digiscope attachment- Phoneskope

[Chazz Hesselein]

Dear Martha and All,

I have owned a couple of phoneskopes for my Zeiss Diascope 85 t* fl 
20-60x85 (purchased in 2005). The first one I bought worked very well, I 
had no major complaints. The second one I bought fit the phone perfectly 
but the eyepiece fitting did not fit very well on my my zoom eyepiece. 
It would not seat flush with the top of the eyepiece and, once, when 
removing the eyepiece after snugging it down for a "better" fit, I 
removed the eye relief cup of the scope's eyepiece and had to send the 
scope back to Ziess for repair. I tried to get another eyepiece fitting 
providing Phoneskope precise measurements for both the diameter of the 
top of the eyepiece and the maximum diameter where the eyepiece flared 
due to the eye-relief cup. I believe the fit of the second eyepiece was 
worse than the first. At that point I gave up on my Phoneskope as hand 
holding my phone worked about as well, or poorly, as the Phoneskope. I 
assume the problem is that Phoneskope no longer stocks eyepieces that 
fit on my older scope.
