Hi, I just started digiscoping, and this is a question I came across almost immediately. I'm sure it must have been discussed before, but after a couple of searches I couldn't find any mention of it.
Assuming vignetting is not a problem, if you want to increase magnification, is it better optically to zoom in using the scope (assuming you have a zoom ocular) or using the zoom on the camera? Thanks.
Except for optical sharpness, I guess one need also to consider the light throughput. Zooming in with the camera implies slower shutter speeds due to higher f-stops. Is it the same for the scope ocular?
I have a Swarovski ATM-80HD with the new 25-50 zoom.
