Hello,

Drawing the curtains this morning, I blinked – is that a heron by the pool? I called Narelle, hastening to add it’s not 1st April.

I grabbed the WO 80mm, the WO 2” extender, a Bintel supplied Orion 2” extender, a T2 adapter and the Pentax *ist DS and set up in the window. The WO focuser was drooping with the weight of the DSLR and the chain of adapters, but in the end, the photos were quite pleasing.

The bird was approx 15 metres away for these images. He/she spent a leisurely 15 mins cleaning, preening and bemoaning the lack of fish in the pool!

Cheers

Dennis
