************************
"Are you a relative new-comer to birding and have you
been wondering what kind of binoculars to get; or
perhaps, having become more seriously involved, you
feel the need for an upgrade? What factors determine
the quality of binoculars and spotting scopes?
Patuxent Bird Club members Dave Mozurkewich and Fred
Fallon, astronomers by profession as well as veteran
birders, share between them a wide background in the
science of optics. In this program they will explain
in easy terms the basic principles that underlie good
birding optics and what to look for in choosing
equipment. A selection of modern binoculars and scopes
will be available for examination under twilight
conditions, with a review of their relative merits.
The new art of "digiscoping" -- digital camera +
spotting scope -- will be discussed; as will devices
for amplifying birdsong. A good program for novice
birder and gear-head alike."
