hello and a happy new year :t:

some info on my bird lens

skywatcher ed 80-600mm f7.5 (astronomy refractor)

works well naked or with 1.4 /2xtc and stacked

in order 600mm / 600 +2xtc / 600 +1.4tc / 600 + stacked

i know it has'nt got af and its heavy but lighter than canon.
and now i have the bigma back from repair but id rather have the scope?

and keep the bigma for bifs ( or do i ) osprey taken on the scope in suffolk 2008.

An excellent collection of pics, every one sharp and well exposed. Would it be possible for you to post a pic of your scope and camera setup? I would be interested to see what it looks like.

Indeed. Beautiful pictures. I really like the long-tailed tit with that smooth, pink background

Photos like this make me want to slingshot my rig into a lake. Excellent. What's the "keeper" rate for photos? Manual focus and slow apertures are very difficult for me.

Hi...
Just joined this forum and noticed your setup...

Just wondered how easy it is to set up, and also how much it cost!!!

I am now very tempted to try your set-up!!!

also what kind of adapter do you use to mount your DSLR??

Thanks

That's interesting as I have a 4-inch f10 Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain astro telescope which I am thinking of attaching my 40D to to make a 1000mm lens.

How is the camera attached to it?
