Hi Graham, may I add my best wishes for a speedy recovery and good outcome from the surgery.

Stunningly clear photo from a casual setup. Not really suitable for birds in flight though. Fine for static subjects though, I would have thought.

My understanding is/was that the magnification takes place in the eyepiece of spotting scopes and can be swapped for varying magnifications, even zoom. Whereas for microscopes the magnification takes place in the objective lens, the one closest to the subject? JK?

I seem to remember reading in the Nikon Spotting scope catalogue that there is an option for a camera mount.
