Nikon are continuing with the gradual upgrades on the P series cameras with the new P6000. The stretching of the lens to cover 28 mm - 112 mm makes it a bit more difficult to digiscope with due to more vignetting than normal with previous models (P5000 and P5100 ).  The addition of RAW is the only reason for upgrading though as all other features are minor changes. Unfortunately it takes a new adapter (UR E-21 ) which I haven't been able to obtain yet so I've had to order one.  I use my balance bar to set it up separately to the scope but as close to the lens as possible.  As I zoom the lens I have to move the camera or it will touch the scope eyepiece.  Results are similar to the P5100 with bigger files (13.5 megs ), but unfortunately NX Capture will not read the Raw files so I use Adobe DNG (free download ).  The converted file is 76 megs.
Here are a few images taken so far. Neil
