Ok, apologies if things like this have been posted before............
I am looking to purchase a scope for what will be limited occasional use... pretty small budget when it comes to scoping. Lets say about £300.
Main use will be to look through it but may also want to use it for digiscoping.
For this I will be using a DSLR (Pentax K5) and preferred way is with a lens on the camera, as I would like to keep it airtight.
What should I be looking for in terms of a scope and what do I need?
I understand that a larger front end will let more light in etc, and the costs of this are more than the equiv 65mm etc... I assume i would be better off with a more expensive slightly smaller scope than a cheaper larger one?
Thanks for your help.
I have the tripod etc through photography and 400mm just isn't long enough... I assume they all have the standard tripod mounts that cameras and some lenses have.
