    Digiscoping vs. "Astroscoping"

    Digiscoping vs. "Astroscoping"

    Dave, The method you describe is more or less the one I usually stick to myself. I start by firing shots with 1X magnification, with some luck you will get one that is in focus. If the subject is cooperative then next I will magnify (5X) and fine tune focus. I have assigned the E-M1 F2...

    Digiscoping vs. "Astroscoping"

    I second what Dan writes (one of the scopes I use is a TLAPO804, 80mm F/6, and I use the E-M5/E-M1 as well), and adding some reflections: Prior astroscoping I digiscoped for a season using a Nikon ED82A scope and a Canon S90 camera. I got some decent results at times, but there is no way such a...
