tried the microscope thing, but it didn't work so great.

this is a 5/5mil grid.

The digital camera shows "tunnel vision" at any zoom or macro setting. I
could engage the digital zoom, which only takes the center of the image,
decreasing the tunnel effect. Also, i might not have held the thing steady
enough (it showed long exposure don't move warning).

Anyway, you don't see much more with this, but i can't think of a way to
make a better image...

The affordable digicam eyepieces are only 640x480, and i don't know if
there is a way to attach the digital camera in a better way. I know there
are eyepieces for regular cameras, so maybe there's some better way i
don't know of to use digital cameras.

any ideas?
