Taken digiscoping using a mirror!

  1. OK Steve I will ask the dumb question. How and why does one digiscope with a mirror?

  2. Well, Murray - it's all about light. The mirror was places underneath a feeder, which then bounced sun light on the underside of the hummer. This method added around two stops of light!

  3. And there I was wondering which end of the telescope you were sticking a mirror on and why. D'oh!
