I want to take photographs of peregrine falcons that are living up on a cliff near my home in Quebec Canada. The distance between my scope and the birds is about 800 meters. I do not expect great sharp pictures from such a distance but would like to do the best possible. I am very new to digiscoping and tried my equipment yesterday with the falcons. It was a sunny day with moderate winds. Below is the best picture I was able to shoot under these circumstances. What kind of settings would you think are best for extreme disgiscoping like this. My camera is a Fuji F31 and my scope is the Swarovski AT80 with the 20-60 zoom eye piece. I have an adapter made by a local person. I am not happy with it but it is steady and does the job.
I wonder if the ISO is important in this situation. What about aperture and speed? Macro focus or not? Etc. All ideas will be appreciated and tested.
Thanks
