Rebel XT and Digiscoping

Posted By James Robinson
Dave, I just purchased my first SLR as well (a D70). I use mine with a Questar, a C5, and a Ranger. For the Tak and Mak you can get a T ring and photo adapter and just insert it into the focuser tube prime focus (no lens). That's the only way I can use mine at the moment as I don't have a long focus lens.

I would be very interested in reports on the Sigma II. I would like to have a autofocus telephoto for close in shots but funds are limited after the D70 purchase. Please post some reports when you have a chance to try it.

Tricolored Heron

Very nice. I am escaping the cold for a week at Hilton Head next week and hope to see some of these. I plan to spend some time at Pickney NWR.

Ring necked ducks

Somehow this reminds me of a spaghetti western, three ducks riding into town... [play theme to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly]

That's great, a rare perspective for sure.

Common Grackle

Posted By James Robinson
Another grackle fan? I find these very difficult to photo, nice shot. I think they are quite striking through the eyepiece but its hard to catch the iridescence in a photo.

I.D. this bird?

Posted By James Robinson
Where was it photographed (in a marsh or field or ?). Probably an immature something or other.
