    Nikon P5100

    Just seen this and noticed the ISO at 64. While they are nice shots for sure don't be afraid to up the ISO, even in bright light, you can never have to much shutter speed in digiscoping, that's what I say. :t: On a similar note, a general observation I've made lately for anyone reading this is...

    Where's the Shrike at? EDIT If it's that Steppe Shrike near Spurn then never mind. I see now that it is so forget I ever posted anything. ;)

    Nikon P5100

    Thought it time to make my contribution. I'd say my setup at present is unique amongst any other digiscopers. I now have a P5100 connected to a Kowa TSN 600/660 series 20-60x zoom through the use of my trusty Opticron DCC adapter (using the thicker of the two inserts) and the SRB step-down ring...
