I'v e taken quite a few photos in kent over the weekend and Ive decided to start with those from Oare Marshes. Im still waiting on IDs for some of them (and I've got to process others) so I just put the first lot up today. After my first attempt at digiscoping I've been wanting to try again in better conditions - which I got on Saturday evening. Again, I borrowed susan's dad's telescope (an Opticron ES 80 GA ED) and her sisters compact camera (a PANASONIC Lumix DMC-TZ3), hand holding the camera, which was optically zoomed in slightly (probably about 2-3x), upto the scope's eyepiece. The scope perforemed best at lower magnifications (18-20x) but those at higher magnifications didn't come out too badly (at least 40x - I can't remember the exact max magnification). All the photot were cropped to some extent. Anyway the first few are at lower magnification:
