Pictures through a Kowa 774... Anybody?

I realize 80+ mm is better for digiscoping but I couldn't pass up the deal on the 77. Now the wait. While I'm waiting does anyone happen to have any pic through one?
Thanks!

Hi,

Here are some photos digiscoped with the Kowa 774:

I couldn't really find any other photos digiscoped with it though.

Thanks so much for the link. Those are just what I was hoping for. Sharp, colorful... Just perfect! Really sets my mind at ease.
I did notice the camera as being a "post" 4/3 type system. In reading up on what we're getting into here with the 77mm (instead of 80 or 88) I've developed a keen interest in the mirrorless cameras. Realizing the multitude of choices (or lack thereof depending on perspective) I'm wondering if this might be the way to go..???

Very nice! Look's like Mr. Stern has the exact same set-up that's soon to be here. Not soon enough, though. Very excited about the scope!
Another question just occurred to me. Might be better off starting another thread but: Does it make a difference in the quality of picture if the scope is angled or straight through?
Thanks again for the links!

Scratch the last question. My posting fingers outpace my search fingers.
