Hi
I am a newbie around here but would like to ask a question if I may?
I would like to get into digiscoping, not just birds but wildlife in general, however, I am on a very limited budget at the moment so dont want to make an expensive mistake when it comes to buying a scope. I have seen (and looked through) a scope made by Acuter which has 20 x 60 zoom and an 80mm diameter lens, it is just about in my price bracket (£200), the magnification looked great when looking through the viewfinder, but will it be okay for digiscoping?? I am not looking for prize winning pictures but would like to be able to snap clean, in focus images, if its not suitable does anyone have ideas for one in the same price bracket?? Finally I have read that my current digicam a Canon Powershot G3 is totally unsuitable for digiscoping, despite being an excellent camera in all other respects, as my budget is small would it be possible to get round any vignetting that occurs using photoshop etc just until I can afford a more suitable digicam for using with a scope??
Sorry to be so long winded, hope someone can help with advice please.
