    Attachment options

    After getting some pretty good results with my Skywatcher ED80 "Astro scope" + DSLR I want to try some Videoscoping with a similar setup, so with a recent windfall I've purchased a Canon HFM306 camcorder and wondered about attachment options. Do I HAVE to use the afocal method or can I just get...

    Great heavyweight tripod cheap

    Wilkinsons Camera's have just dropped the price of the Camlink TPVideo1 tripod from £169.99 to £99.99. It's a perfect heavyweight tripod for us scope users. I've just bought one and i'll hopefully give some more detailed opinions of it later in the week. Here's a very bad video review of...

    ED80 Observational use

    Hi all I've was drooling over spotting scopes in Wilkinsons Cameras today until I realised I already had one of the best spotting scopes on the market. Does anyone else use their Astroscope for observation? What's your setup? What magnification do you find optimal? I have a little spare...

    A day at Marshside Southport

    I've been to marshside once before, about 14 months ago to see the Avocets. Having only taken my birdwatching semi-seriously in the last couple of months, last time was more a reason to try out my new (back then) camera telephoto lens. This time was primarily for birdwatching with a few...

    Fledgeling and Finches

    I have a confession to make... I like cats... well maybe not all cats, but we have 3 in the house of which only 1 causes us any problems in the bird department, and even then only rarely.... today was one of those rare occasions. I came down this morning to find a Tree Sparrow fledgeling in the...

    does this count?

    I was happily travelling to work early this morning, coming round the M6-M55 sliproad at 75Mph, when I noticed 2 mallards sat in the dead centre of my lane! Looking to my left (I was in the fast lane) I could see another car keeping pace with me, so that ruled out avoiding the ducks by changing...
