The black piece on the end slides out to extend the sunshade. Usually when I'm shooting through the scope I extend it and flatten the eye cup.

The Horn and Saddleback have excellent views and are unobstructed. You can see over the sugar shack on Sugarloaf. However, you can't see over the giant radio tower. They broadcast the "Mountain of Rock" radio station from that tower. Here is a ~350 degree panorama I took from the top of the...

Could I just use a spare layer from my pack and drape it over the camera-scope junction to eliminate that? I guess I'll have to just live with it then... :( I always have the scope on a tripod, but how do I mount the camera to the scope? Or, if I can't do it myself, where can I get a...

Since I can't afford a DSLR and associated lenses but still want good shots of animals and far-off places, I've resorted to shooting through a spotting scope with a digital point-and-shoot. This one came out beautifully (linked due to size), but sometimes digiscoping results in some kinda...

I got two...:o Had fun doing it though, and Washington and Bondcliff were pretty sweet all the same.
