My digiscoping equipment is a accumulation of a Bausch & Lomb "Elite" 80mm "ED" frontal lens with a 20X60 Zoom eyepiece, I have also a 30X fixed eyepiece; I have purchased from www.Scopetronix.com in Florida a Tele view 28mm "T"adaptor, which fit on both eyepieces and fasgtened with 3 set screws, making centering the eyepiece to this adaptor very easy and maintaining a perfect face to face alignment of the camera lens and the spotting scope eyepiece. (the cost of this Tele View adaptor was US$32.00)

The Nikon UR-E6 telephoto lens adaptor is than screwed unto this assembly and onto the Nikon CoolPix5000 camera body.

I tested the distance of the Nikon 2X Telephoto back lens to the back rim of the UR-E6 adaptor, than did the same with the 20X60 eyepiece mounted to this Tele View adaptor and the UR-E6 Nikon Adaptor and noted only a 0.6mm difference; therefore making this assembly a perfect match and focusing was perfect from 80% wide angle to 2X & 3X telephoto settings of the camera.
