Identification help

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

Kurt, it appears that the low sun angle has made the bird more red than neutral light would have done. It makes ID a bit more difficult. If I were to guess, I'd say it is a Water Pipit.

Shooting photo's using a Pentax K-1000?

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

You will have a hundred times more enjoyment with a digital camera. Even a cheap 2 megapixel will give you lots of bang for the buck. The thing to remember when shooting through an eyepiece is that best results are obtained when the optical diameter of the eyepiece is greater than that of the camera lens. I would consider the Pentax K1000 to be ill suited to coupling to your scope.

It's a darn shame that complete idiots can destroy what nature, at it's most severe, cannot. At least, I have the photo.
