Hi, Pete.
Very impressive. You really know your gear as well as the beh. of the birds. I am using DSLR camera; and I always though that to capture birds photos, you have to use high shutter speed. Now, I've learnt that I can use slower shutter speed to those pretty stable birds; then I can compensate if the light is not favorable.
Thanks for the detailed reply.
BTW, I recently bought a cheap China-made telescope (Acuter 80 ED); no serious shots taken yet, but the initial shots were poor (the quality). Have to spend more time to do esp. during the sunshine days.
Best.
Eric
