I'm often asked by newcomers to photography or disigcoping during learning sessions - how far can you get with a digital P&S camera and a spotting scope, so here are some of my examples I'm showing them.
The first - Jupiter and companions (two of it's moons I think) taken with the Celestron C5 and the Leica 20-60 zoom EP using a Leica scope adapter (allowing to use a Leica EP on an astro or another Cat scope which uses Plossl Eps).
The camera used was the CP8400.
It was VERY cropped, but still...and I have no tracking device, therefore I needed 40 minutes of chasing to pin it down.
The second exaple is to show how much details you can get from an animal's face 40 meters away from it. This was taken with the same camera and the Leica Apo 77 scope at almost maximal zoom setting of the EP.
In another post I'll upload a couple of artistic shots that I show to my guys during the learning sessions - using plain digiscoping equipment.
One can also digiscope other things than birds...
