The image of
the Lighthouse above was taken at the Seabird Observatory.
This is Altnacarry (east light) on Rathlin Island – some 16
miles SW of Machrihanish…
That’s Digiscoping!!!
Digiscoping is the art of
acquiring digital photographic images by attaching a digital
camera to, or holding it firmly against, the eyepiece of a
spotting telescope.
The images in our Photo
Gallery were taken by this method using a Nikon Coolpix 995
digital camera attached to a Swarovski 80 HD telescope with
a 20X wide angle lens. The cameras optical zoom was often
set at max X3 giving a massive high-magnification of 60X!

the whole concept of digiscoping you should visit the
