The Questar is a wonderful scope and is the best highpower birding scope
or small astronomical catadioptric scope made. It is very expensive.
Try Christophers Astronomics at the following address
http://www.birdbino.com/index1.htm
They have an excellent web site that should answer your questions
concerning this scope and any other birding scopes.
OM content - this scope has adapters for cameras and mounts them
directly behind the scope leaving the normal observing eyepiece in place
to find and focus on the target then, with a flip of a lever, direct the
light to the camera. Wonderful optics, astronomical price.
