    I don't think on that programme they take too much care and with digiscoping, you really need to bracket a few shots and use the 2 second delay, as the metering in the camera is affected and you need to be rock steady on high magnification.

    I've tried with my cheapo scope, but lost patience with it. I may well give it another try when I go to France at the end of April, as there is nothing to sidetrack me there.

    im currently working through my freinds and family for a fairly decent compact, and scope so i can try it... might be worth a try, though ive solved my long lens problem for the moment...
