This is my first posting to this forum, so I'm a little nervous in such august company. I've been digiscoping for a couple of years, and have tons of photographs. This one was taken at 86X magnification using my new TeleVue 85 with a Pentax 21 mm XL eyepiece, and Nikon CP4500 camera. I just purchased the TeleVue as an upgrade to my trusty Pentax, which I have been extremely satisfied with. I hope you enjoy the photo.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. I feel a little less nervous now! I will dig out a few more photos to post in the next few days. Also, if there is anyone else on the forum using the TV-85 scope I would sure like to compare notes.
