But please raise the image quality, especially the light.

Hi Andre,

you?re right. The achieved image-quality is less than poor. I use a Coolpix 995 through the ocular of an old USSR- MBS-10. At the moment I can?t see any opportunity to improve the performance of this system. But different upgrades are in sight...

Till then, I hope you won?t ignore my threads.:(

Regards
Ralph

Weakest point probably is the lightsource you used, artificial bulb or something?
Try to use 'white' light, like a PL-lamp. Or the light outside (but avoid direct sunlight).
