Hi Andy,
I'm planning to make the plunge into digiscoping and am now in the market for a scope. It would be my first scope. (I have a cp4500 camera.)
My budget prevents me from buying one of the more expensive scopes. I have read material on Eagle optics and Kowa -- affordable and used by many digiscopers. I must confess, however, that I have an affinity for Nikon, having bought my first Nikon, an "F," in Saigon in 1968. It's still in perfect working order.
The Nikon Field and Sky, at $349 (US), is within my price range.
Paul Sansom, one of my favorite 'scopers, uses the Field and Sky. His work, in my opinion, is outstanding. Double click on the url below to see a sample of his work.

I don't see much of anything in the forums re: Nikon scopes, except for the very expensive ed models. What is your opinion of the Field and Sky as a starter scope. 18x-20x 60mm.
