Getting Digiscoping Tips

I have been corresponding with a blogging friend from Maine, Stephen Ingraham, who is a Birding and Observation Product Specialist for Carl Zeiss Sports Optics.  He knows a lot about digiscoping and in emails today, answered questions for me and helped out a great deal.  His advice on letting the camera do a lot of the work, using some of the automatic settings, make a lot of sense.  He also recommended this video, which while aimed at Zeiss products, is applicable to any setup.  I found it pretty helpful and interesting so I’m sharing it.  

I practiced a bit out back today and here are a couple of examples of how my digiscoping went.  I’m pretty happy with it and need to get out there and shoot.
