I just bought an angled APO-77, 20-60, 32WA, Ever Ready case, Photo Adapter 1:10.4/800mm, and Manfrotto 3205GN3 + 3130G as a gift for my wife. |;| Her first target was a Pileated Woodpecker at about 20 feet -- what a magnificent animal!
I had sloppy seconds that included:
-- a Bald Eagle snatching such a large fish from the river that he couldn't get it completely out of the water, left a wake all the way to the shore
-- I could easily discern the phase of Venus
-- the two day crescent moon shimmering in a red-orange sunset sky
-- two Great Blue Herons in the shallows about 30 feet away attempting to mate, like a pair of gangly teenagers. Wrong time of year, but someone failed to tell them.
I like this scope!
