Using a telescope with a Slr Camera?
Has anyone used a telescope fitted to a SLR camera and if so what are the quality of results like. Telescope being considered for use is a Leica APO Televid 77 with a Nikon DSLR. The photo adaptor gives a 35mm equivalent of 800mm at f10.4. Any thoughts or alternative suggestions would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in anticipation
try looking at the web site www.fatbirder.com they are using a combination of digital and telescope imagery. there are lots of people to talk to there who are using it some of the images are amazing. By the way i am not a bird watcher i just happen to know the person who owns the site
