It is amazing what a cell phone and a spotting scope can do. The newer I-13 phone and a Swarovski ATX 95 spotting scope with a Phoneskope adapter, make a decent combination for a photo at the range of 1 mile…
I am rather impressed with my Samsing S22 ultra. The below images are from my second floor bedroom, the elk are about 1400 yards off and the picture progression is just with the internal zoom on my phone, no spotting scope or external magnification.
I imagine with a spotting scope adapter I would likely be able to see the hair follicles on their rump.
Camera technology on phones these days are insanely impressive.
