Can't find the original photography thread so thought I would start another.
Apart from a Bluetooth shutter release zapper (hurry up Santa) I now have all the gear for Digi scoping using my phone. The quality of photos using my Samsung S6 are very good. The attachment for the telescope is made by Viking and I got mine from an RSPB shop.
Posted on 25/01/2017 17:23 by OneputtBM have looked at a company called HDEW Cameras and look ok, have e-mailed them this afternoon about a clause in their T&C's and got a response in a couple of hours. I will order this evening the lens and 1.4 mk3 extender with a saving of £445. So happy to go ahead. I will then sell a couple of my redundant lenses on E Bay.

They appear to have very good reviews, so hope you enjoy the kit. I bumped into the guy who runs one of the bird blogs around our area and he was drooling over his lens and Mk3 converter used with a 7D mk2.
I took this pic earlier to see how well a pic from about 1 mile away and a 50% crop would come out.
shutter speed of 1/1000 sec F8 1600 iso
reasonable I would say.
I am sure you will be delighted as everyone I have spoken to has been.
Perhaps we could meet up If I make it to Minsmere, a local expert is a must.

Hi Oneputt.
I would be interested in hearing how you get on with Digiscoping. I love my photography and am now just trying my hand with the scope. Finding it a bit hit / miss but I'm sure its my technique. We were up in Nth Norfolk yesterday. Didn't take the scope but thought it would be a good place to get some wildlife shots and practice Next time though. Went to Walsingham for the Snowdrop walk through the Abbey. Took some nice Picts there. Certainly worth a visit if you have not been. Anyhow it would be good to hear if your scoping is a success.
