[QUOTE="Johnathan Aulabaugh, post: 39284, member: 7698"] I dont know much about the telescopes or how they work for day time use but they seem cool and I see a lof of photographers do a lot of cool stuff with them. The last telescope I had was over 6 ft long lol. what is the optical magnification of the telescope Vs a good spotting scope? As far as the digiscoping goes, you do realize that the adaptor for the system you plan to use connects to your cameras lens filter threads and not the body itself like the Nikon EDG adapter that conects to your cameras body (f mount). that would be a lot of stress in the threads of your lens as well as possibly more stress to the mounting system between your lens and camera.
