I have a 26x zoom P100 that I take astrophotos with (moon, sun, jupiter etc). I know there are tons of people who use real telescopes with their dSLR size cameras so I don't understand why a superzoom digital can't be made to work the same.
Micro 4/3s SLRs sometimes can autofocus behind the eyepiece, but most people who use a DSLR use manual focus. With the ZEISS Photo Adapter the only option is manual focus.
I met up with some University of Moscow researchers and they have a much better system and a Significantly Cheaper [and excellent] scope made by a those high end Russian Optical companies.
That scope looked like it was designed by Porsche and was being sent to Mars!
The Russians really know their glass... if that marketing thing toward the WEST improves... we'll be blown away by their talented scientists!

The Sony is the long discontinued N series. All current Sonys have zooms in the 1-4, 1-5, 1-7 range, and show vignetting at the wide ends.

A good video. What is the name of the sony camera that worked without vignetting?

It is a Zeiss Digital Camera Adapter and only fits the Zeiss DiaScopes. Any Zeiss dealer can get you one.
