    Nikon Monarch eyecup problem

    Has anyone had a problem with the eyecups on their Nikon Monarchs? I have 10x42s and since I got them nearly a year ago the eyecups have been really problematic and tend to get stuck from time to time, it's as if they come off their threads. The movement never feels smooth and has always felt...

    Fuji Finepix F40 FD - any good?

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this camera. I have the F10 which I'm very happy with and I know the F30/31 got great reviews. The F40 seems to be the newest model in this series but I can't find any reviews of it. Has anyone heard anything, good or bad?

    Baader Microstage and Swarovski ATS80?

    I'm trying to sort out my digiscoping set up on a limited budget and was considering buying a Baader Microstage. I have a Swarovski ATS80 with 20-60 zoom. I see that the Microstage fits up to 60mm eyepieces which should be suitable but I want to check if anyone else has this setup. I don't...

    Ace stay on case, any good?

    Just wondering if anyone has tried Ace stay on cases? I'm planning to buy a stay on case for my ATS80 shortly. The LCE one doesn't seem to be available anymore and I don't want to pay for the Swarovski one. It looks like I'll end up buying the Skua case unless anyone can recommend the Ace...

    Best camera for mostly general use, some digiscoping

    I want to buy a digital camera which I will use mainly for general use but I also might use it with my scope hand held, or I might buy a universal adaptor. My priority is for it to be good for normal use, good zoom and good pixel count, but I don’t want it to be unusable with the scope either...

    Very low budget scope options

    Hi I'm finally thinking of taking the plunge and buying a scope. Problem is my budget is extremely low. I've been looking on ebay and my options seem to be Opticron Piccolo 15-45x60, fixed eyepiece so no option to upgrade. Or there are 2 Germans ones - Optrons 20-60x60 and Seben Razor II...

    Juvenile blackbird with no tail

    There was a newly fledged blackbird in my garden yesterday evening with nearly no tail. Only for its parents fussing around it I wouldn't have been sure what it was! Is it normal for juvenile blackbirds to have stumpy tails or has this one got something wrong with it? And if so is it likely...

    Robin gender

    Hi there, I'm new to the Birdforum and this is my first post. I was just wondering is there any way of telling the gender of a robin. I have a very tame juvenile robin in my garden and would love to know if it's male or female. Any help would be appreciated!
