Non-bird Digiscoping
A reader emailed and asked if digiscoping can be used for photographing critters and things other than birds. This may seem intuitively obvious to photographers, but it's difficult to find anything other than digiscoped bird images on the Internet. Here are a few examples of non-bird images I've taken through my Swarovski spotting scope and Nikon digital camera:

I'm LOVING the dragonfly and one of my personal favorite animals, the squirrel. Thanks for sharing!
The picture of the (setting?) sun is incredible! I guess your camera didn't react adversely since you still use it...right?
Jon,
NEVER point your spotting scope directly at the sun. The only reason I got away with it, this one time, is because the setting sun was heavily filtered by clouds and atmospheric haze.

I love seeing what else a digiscope set up can do. I am looking forward to giving insects a try.
The squirrel is fantastic with that tail and little paws.
Fantastic Blog. well done.
