Well I finely got my Orion 80 ED 600mm scope with all the adaters put together and shot some birds. only kept two, because it was very windy.

First time birding with Digiscope. C&C Please, because I`ve got alot to learn.

Bill, It won't be difficult to beat me digiscoping ! I was mostly talking from photographic experience. Practice makes perfect !

You should pick it up fairly quickly Bill. I only got into astro scopes in the last couple of years. Only thing I'd say about your photos you posted is don't go for too tight a crop unless the photo can take it.

Paul.

Welcome brunovo. I`m a Newbie myself. But what I use is a Manfrotto 3021 tri pod, Manfrotto 501 HDV Video head, Manfrotto 3433 PL Quick Releace mounting plate with a Manfrotto 357 Rapid Connect Adapter with Sliding Plate. Still learning how to use it.

For expert advice see http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=100519
It`s a long read but well worth the time.

Hope this helps.
