I've been wanting to get my hands on the G10 to try digiscoping with it for some time as I know it's a great camera ( I have the G6).  I bought one on Friday and tested it with various eyepieces - Swarovski 30x, Televue 32 mm Plossl, Televue 12mm Radian, Kowa 27x LER and Kowa 25x LER .  The only eyepieces that gave good , unvignetted views were the Kowas.  The G10 needs a lot of Eye Relief which the Kowas have.  I have to use a balance bar to be able to slide the camera in and out as I zoom the lens .Here are some tests with the camera at home and out in the field.

Sorry I didn't reply earlier.  I'm glad you've sorted out the connection with the DCB.  Nice photos, particularly the night heron.
The Canon adapter comes in two pieces.  I just use the first piece and screw to the screw thread on the Kowa eyepiece using stepup/stepdown rings.
I don't zoom the camera lens much as vignetting will come in.
