The method of taking photographs through a digital camera that is attached to the eyepiece of a spotting scope is called the collimation method. Collimate means the aligning of the optical axis of the optical system. Usually, we look through a telescope/spotting scope through the eyepiece with our eye. When the human eye is replaced by a digital camera to look through the eyepiece to take a photograph, it is called the collimation method.
The darkening phenomenon that appears around an image is called vignetting. When digiscoping, it is important to choose the appropriate adapter and eyepiece to reduce vignetting as much as possible.
Vignetting occurs when the angle of view of the camera is larger than the apparent field of view of the eyepiece. A wide angle eyepiece is effective in reducing vignetting.
Vignetting can also occur when the eye relief of an eyepiece is not sufficient for the camera to capture the full image. A long eye relief eyepiece is effective in reducing vignetting.
