Digiscoping with Canon 300d extreme example (1 Viewer)

An example of a handheld digiscoping shot in very extreme conditions: dusk (6.45pm today) and heavy rain: a rather drippy Jay.

Leica Televid Apo 77 with 20-60 zoom lens set at x20

Canon 300d handheld to the scope, fitted with 75-300mm IS (image stabilised) zoom set at 75mm, ASA 1600, f4, 1/5th of a second.

Shot through a dirty window.

Note how the combination of image stabilisation and extreme ASA makes a shot possible under such conditions! I have found it surprisingly easy to handhold the IS zoom to the scope.

Redshift,very good.Must have been difficult ,though to hold the camera perfectly steady.But it shows what can be achieved.

Well, actually, no! With the IS lens it is remarkably easy (and I don't have the steadiest of hands).
