Message: <blockquote data-quote="birdeast" data-source="post: 1505060" data-attributes="member: 25124">More images with the D300 and WO Zenithstar 80 EDII APOgrade.  These photos were taken in evening light.  The range for the munias was between 10-15m and the range for the bee eater was about 20-25m.  I am having some serious problems with vibration and have begun looking into getting a balance bar to support this long lens setup.  Even then, the shutter speeds I am getting (less than 1/125... usually 1/60ish) are not conducive to good clean captures.  I will have to get use to the slow shutter speeds I guess if I want to do prime focus telescope photography.  I was pretty impressed with the detail in munia3 eventhough I cut off the tail :king:I am encouraged with what I am seeing so far.  If I get much happier, I can see my self looking at 100mm and 125mm scopes.... more resolving power and more focal length!!</blockquote>
