Yup agree with Rick about the limitations of digiscoping with ED50. It is a great little scope and have you tried it with SOny W300 Rick ?
Thanks for your helpful replies Rick and Horukuru. I agree, it's a great little scope and has really enhanced my birding experience. I guess it was inevitable that once I saw those superb details/views, I'd want some way of capturing them, :-O .
Most of my birding is done in areas of large open water (reservoirs, lakes etc) and the images that I most want to get are seen at distances of 50-100m. There are at least 3 scenes I would very much like to capture in my locality:
1. In the spring/summer, Great Crested Grebe with young on their back (distance 50-100m).
2. Flocks of Golden Plover resting on the shoreline (distance 75-100m)
3. Snipe and other waders on the shoreline (distance 75-100m)
It's annoying that the water levels are so low (meaning the birds are rather far away, lol).
Would the camera have trouble focusing on birds at that distance, even if they were clear in the scope?
Many thanks
