Digiscoping Tests
These photos were taken with a Nikon CoolPix 995 and a Kowa TSN-824 scope with 20-60x zoom lens. ISO was set to 800 in this test, since I didn't have anything to stabilize the camera (hand held). These are scaled down from the original 2048 x 1536.

1x - no zoom. If you look closely, you can see a little white dot down in the valley. |
| 4x - full camera zoom. That white dot's a little bigger. |
| 240x - 4x camera zoom times 60x scope zoom. So that's what that white dot was. |
|
1x - no zoom. If you look closely, you can see a field down in the valley. At full scale, you can see dots in the field. |
| ~80x - ~2x camera and ~40x scope zoom. Looks like there are some horses in the field. |
| 240x - 4x camera zoom times 60x scope zoom. These are miniature horses! |
