So you use a CP4500 camera but what scope do you use and at what magnification was it at?

I always thought digiscoping was best at around x30 or less but that looks more than that...........i may be wrong though.
I have the Swaro STS80HD. 30x is about right. This was taken at about 40+ and the camera zoom was about 3x. I was using ISO200 and even then the best speed I could get was 1/60th and that was still a bit fast so i had to do some work in Photoshop to get the darkness out of the image.

You can tell from the sky how dark it was.
