Hello all, interesting reading on the subject of digiscoping, Andy gave me some initial advice on scoping, my first scope before I met the guys,was a JESSOPS CENTON and with the coolpix 4500 and a home made bracket I got some results, Andy suggested a larger objective lens to let in more light,low and behold I now have an opticron 80 es with a LONDON CAMERA EXCHANGE adaptor which is a far better set up, but as always, you pays your money to get the results, I just need the subjects to keep still long enough.
PS DONT BUY THE NIKON AUTO RELEASE it takes too long to energise,use the mechanical system, I adapted JESSOPS cheap one with a home made bracket, so much quicker.
