    Digiscoping with Nikon Fieldscope 60mm?

    I'd like to take some record shots through my Nikon Fieldscope ED III 60mm with 30 x wide lens. Yes I know its not ideal but I don't like big scopes!. I've taken a few half decent piccys hand holding an olympus mju, but its very hit and miss. I'm tempted by what I've read about the Samsung...
