Freddy ,absolutely beautiful.I am so envious.you can get lovely widlife shots in your part of the world.I have a 4500,and i use either the eagle optics adapter,or the Swarowski one.I have the swar scope.I find that once you have the pic in the camera screen and you let go of the scope,then the pic moves,so i have bought a beanbag to sit on top of the scope to keep it in position,and i think it seems to be working.I was advised to buy a remote shutter release cable which i have done,it seems okay,but the proffessionals such as andy do not seem too sure.I think it is trial and error.But yuor picture is superb.
Christine.

One more long shot

I think this is a red tailed hawk, I'm not too good with my hawk identification. About a 170 yard shot, 1/72 second exposure.
