Well, I borrowed my son's Nikon L15 point and shoot and held it to the rear of my $55 NcStar 20-60x60 spotting scope (I think I'm going to have to get a better spotting scope). I think pell hit the nail on the head when he said a good scope is a wonderful thing.

My son's L15 has a 3x mag (same as my 5600), 8 mega-pix (my 5600 has 5.1) and a much bigger LCD view then my Nikon 5600. The bigger LCD is a definite benefit.

I took many pics with both the L15 and the 5600, but like Resin said, most were cr@p - I found it real hard to hold the camera in just the right attitude behind the scope.. But I quickly came to realize that with a little practice I got better results.

Anyway, in this frame and the next I going to show two on my "best" ones. And I didn't crop them - you can see what I saw.

Now, don't laugh - too much.
