Hi Kevin

Nice selection of birds there.

How you going on with that new camera?

Hi Ste

I'm still learning with the camera but have managed a few reasonable pictures.  So far I am just holding the camera over the lens.  What's the best way to attach a compact camera to a scope?

cheers Kevin

Try this link. I shall be updating this page when I have a little more time which will include settings which give you the best results.

http://www.wildrossendale.co.uk/60.html

If you scroll down you will see a bracket that I currently use for the purpose and it does the job well but it is expensive at about £95.

I have a bracket that I had made that you can have for about £40. This allows you to use the scope and then when a picture is required it just swings in place and then away when done. It is quite good. Let me know if you fancy it.
