spotting scope use as lens

You will get the type of photos that document an animal, not the kind you can hang on the wall.  It also takes quite a bit of light, as suspected a tripod is mandatory and its often a bit awkward focusing.   It does work however.

Yeah, your not going to get any "Bone" quality photos. I have a Swarovski 20-60x80 HD spotter, and I need to leave it on 20 power to get pics that aren't grainy once I blow them up onto my 17" monitor. They still aren't great, but not bad without an expensive camera lense.

The variable cabelas spotter that I have, part of the "kit" is a fixed 20x which has the screwed that the adapter fits on.   The tricky part is focusing through the spotter

you guys are taking digi-scope. i am talking about removing the eyepiece of the spotter and using the adapter to mount the body on the scope w/o the eyepiece.

Took these with my point and shoot and a Friends scope. I don't remember what type of scope he has.

this is what I am thinking, just unsure of the image quality.

I would say Burrheads are high end pics to expect.  Ideal conditions probably.    Generally you are shooting long distances and heat and smog and smoke and other stuff are expotential at those distances.

High country, I am talking a spotting scope mounted directy to the camera as a lens.    The spotter has an adapter which fits a canon camera and they screw together.  It takes a square pic just as seen in any camera.  Not the rounded digi scope types.

excellent, so on a day with good light 3-500 yd shots doable with a ed quality scope? if not what kind of scratch am I gonna need to take those shots. I have an area that is choked full of deer, there are so many it is hard to get close to the bucks some times.
