Mike,
If you are going to venture into the world of Digiscoping, you should realise that the success rate is relatively low to start. Of course it has the advantage of relatively low initial cost, especially for birders who already own a scope.
For me the extreme focal length that digiscoping affords, over 2000mm, allows you to see birds in a different light, you are really able to see in detail the beauty of birds.
Worldwide, digiscoping has had a resurgence of interest and there are a number of forums where beginners are welcome to ask questions.
Neil Fifer, a HKBWS member, held a 2 day seminar earlier this year and a large number of society members attended, maybe he could run the seminar again?
If the HKBWS BBS could have a sub-section under Bird photography called Digiscoping, it could possibly create interest and answer questions for Chinese speaking members. Avian Watch Asia has a BBS that has a section for posting digiscoping pictures and another section for digiscoping equipment.
