I was pretty impressed with the results myself but the picture was taken with a cheap point and shoot FujiFilm F30 through my birdwatching spotting scope (Leica APO-Televid 82). I have a little adapter that holds the camera in position on the scope's eyepiece and then I set the camera on timer so that I can let hold of it, giving my hand-introduced vibrations time to settle down before the shot is taken.

Of course that requires a VERY obliging bird and these were just such birds. They were actively hunting but at least they'd return to the same perch after every sortie.

Mmm, jealous. Very jealous.
