A couple more shots taken with the Celestron 80ED refractor (600mm, f7.5)this time with the Nikon D2H and a Kiron 2X teleconverter plus 60mm extension tube. Although this is only a 4 mpx camera, it certainly makes the most of those pixels and I believe I'm getting sharper photos with this than with the 6 mpx Fuji S2 Pro. I have not yet tested it's 8 frame per second continuous shooting speed. The first two photos have been resized (uncropped); levels and sharpening in photoshop. European Starling (at least 100 ft) and Ruby-throated Hummingbird (30 ft). Third photo is a crop of the same Starling shot. I also noted that although the dark starling on a white background might be a potential source of CA in this situation, it doesn't seem to be a problem for this scope.
