Re: [APML] A couple of E200 piggyback shots

["Stuart Heggie" <stuart.j.heggie@sympatico.ca>]

Andrew, both shots look great! I think seeing the optical tube in the pics is distracting but easy
to fix that as others have said - if you go with a ball head get a heavy one or it will bounce
around. Some of the bigger ones have larger threaded holes than 1/4x20 but camera stores will sell
you a threaded insert to stop them down to 1/4 x 20 for the camera adapter on your ota.
