Grey Heron – Kilwinning

A nice morning to test the Hawke Nature scope for Digiscoping.

First shots from Garnock floods.

No brackets used, just hand-held using a nylon centering collar to keep things in the middle.

Above shots from the Dirrans dam.

From what we can make out the Hawke Nature is the same as an Opticron Piccolo except the Piccolo comes with a 14-45 zoom, the Hawke comes with a 20-60 zoom and a 34x wide eyepiece.

For just over £100 I think it performs very well :-)
