[QUOTE="JGobeil, post: 1294144, member: 24649"] Kevin, I gave up on the Pentax scope - maybe you got one from the same batch... :C So-so results with those 2 setups: P5100 + WX20 + PF80ED 20D + 50mm f/1.8 MK1+ WX20 + PF80ED I then purchased an inexpensive astro refractor scope and now do prime focus digiscoping using a 20D with quite interesting results. See my posts no. 554 and 556 at the end of this thread: [URL="http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=100519&page=23"]http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=100519&page=23[/URL] If you are interested, this thread will teach you all you need to know about prime focus digiscoping. IMO, this is the way to go for long range high magnification photography. Regarding your actual setup, before giving up, I would recommend you test another prime lens and another eyepiece in order to isolate the problem. IMO, the camera is not at fault. [/QUOTE]
