Short-toed Snake-eagle, digiscoped

[Richard Stern]

I take a fair number of digiscoped images, but few of them would be considered good enough to post here. I thought this one might be considered. Taken using my old 5mpx Sony DSC-W5, p&s with a simple tube adapter hand-held and jammed into the extended part of a 30X WA eyepiece, on the Kowa 773 spotting scope (tripod, of course). Cropped mildly, and some Noise-ninja run. The image was taken at Keoladeo National Park, near Bharatpur, India, in Feb.

Well for jamming something into an eye piece it looks pretty sharp.
Too bad the angle is so steep.

An interesting looking bird.

Cool species, agree about the angle.

This is after NN? Wow makes you appreciate the modern cameras!
