Hiya good people, I'm a habitual lurker on all forums. I don't usually engage much, as I've had a stroke and either can't get out what I want to say or overshare and have no filter (much like now!) It has left me with multiple issues.
Having just moved to an area where there is a healthy bird population, I wanted to know more, so I started an online ornithology course and my lovely husband got me a spotter scope for my birthday. I am loving both so much, I've gone from being unable to fill my days to not enough time in the day. I would have continued to lurk without signing up, but in my multiple questions to google etc, this forum keeps coming up quite a lot! (Well done everyone)
I thought it might be rude if I just ask questions in future (not that I have any atm) so I thought I'd introduce myself, say hello....and go back to lurking!
I'm attaching my first digiscoping attempt. I'm struggling with phone's and adapters, atm. I have an ancient Samsung, it is a smaller phone but the poxy autofocus will not turn off and the images are a bit meh. I also have a slightly newer (still old in the mobile world) Samsung note. This gives a much cleaner, sharper image without the autofocus issue, but it is so big it keeps falling off!
Anyway, hello (imagine me waving)
