Male Cardinal about 40 foot away taken with an Orion 80ED F7.5/600mmFL and Nikon D50. Not the best lighting - cloudy and late afternoon.

Nice shot, focus and colors look good.
The lighting looks fine also.

Nice shot Mark,
You should have good luck in good light. I've used my 80ED with the old Canon D30 many times with very good results. The 80ED is indeed an amazing little scope. -Kurt Horsley

Took the same setup out to a slough on the Flat River that was very busy with wild Mallards. This was through the brush up on a bank from about 30 yards away. Focus is the toughest part. Oh, and not scaring the flock off by trying to get closer.
