I was curious what else you digiscope besides birds?

If any of you digiscope other wildlife I would love to see a link to your photos.
If I do get into digiscoping I would like to try other wildlife as well as birds.

Also if you digiscope anything else I would like to see what you take photos of.

Would digiscoping work well to get detailed pictures of buildings? Not the entire building but close ups of its detail?

Right now there's a trend in America of tearing down old mental institutions from the early and late 1800's and building apartments. These are historical buildings and they will be going away forever over the upcoming years. They are very unique looking buildings and some were build to look beautiful or comforting to attempt relax the patients. The reality of what happened inside these places is pretty awful. They are run down now which detracts from their original look but you can still see they were very nice and the run down look is very unique as well.

I have an interest in going to these locations and photographing them. I'm wondering if digiscoping would help get close in detail I can't get with 3x.

I'll attach a few pictures I took of one.

Great pictures. I love the ground hogs. I was in New Mexico only one week for work and liked it down there. I was right near El Paso Texas and the boarder to Mexico so the terrain was mostly desert.

You must be using a really high end spotting scope with those photos. Just curious what type of scopes do you use?

I also like the photo from where you are and the digiscoped photos to show how far your zooming to.
