    Nikon D5200 Digiscoping

    The Nikon d5200 offers the Nikon t1 mount as its sizing. What is the best scope you can get that offers that as a size to fit over? On from this, whilst I have not tried, would you expect any success using a sahara spotting scope with such a camera?

    With the places you can go in Bucks, it seems to me rather surprising how little this part of the forum is used.
