That last picture was really outstanding.
I'd be really pleased to get that with any camera set-up.

I have noticed that hardly anyone uses this scope or even showing their pics uses this scope despite its good reviews.
I believe it can take better pictures than this, I plan to upgrade my camera soon besides I am completely hopeless with a camera. Tried taking a pictures of my pet yesterday and it kept focusing on the background XD.
These Photos have been taken with:
Canon Powershot S70
Celestron F-ED 80mm
(You may have seen these already)
Can you please tell me what camera mount your using with the regal 100 F-ED?
Thanks in advance.

The Olympus camera lens I was using has a 37mm filter thread. The Baader Hyperion eyepiece has a 43mm thread built into the eyepiece. I just used a 37-43mm step up ring and screwed the eyepiece right onto the camera lens and then slipped the eyepiece/camera/lens combo right into the eyepiece holder on the scope.
Very interesting. How would you compare the Regal F-ED 80 with the Regal F-ED 100 from Sharpness and CA perspectives. Just looking at the best of the pics, I could be mistaken but the 80 pics seem a bit sharper.
Also, from a digiscoping perspective the gap is certainly closing quickly between the Swaros/Kowas etc. and much more affordable options from Celestron and more recently Zen Ray.
