    What make and model is your camera? And do you like it? You’ve got some great photos, and I also want to take photos (mostly because I need help identifying birds, and want to take photos for reference).

    Thanks.

    I use a Panasonic Lumix FZ-5. I’m not sure I’d recommend it. It has no manual focus, and has serious moire problems when digiscoping. However, the later models have at least added a manual focus.

    Ah. Digiscoping. I’ll have to plan a strategy for getting good pictures, good equipment, or some good balance of both. Thanks!
