[MARMAM] Use of digiscoping for shore-based photo-identification studies

Dear colleagues, I am looking for advice on the feasibility of using digiscoping techniques (i.e. a DSLR camera fitted to a telescope) for photo-identification studies of delphinids from shore. In particular, I am interested to find out whether anyone has used digiscoping for scientific photo-identification studies and to receive informal feedback regarding success (e.g. image quality, focussing limitations, effective distance range etc), trouble-shooting and limitations. If you are willing to provide feedback then please contact me via e-mail at: caroline.weir@ketosecology.co.uk Thanks, Caroline Caroline Weir Marine Mammal Scientist www.ketosecology.co.uk
