Tips for photographing through scopesights—?
I have managed to get photos through a sight to show the reticle or something else, but it’s often a fiddly process, especially with higher magnifications. It seems to help if I’m using a “normal” focal length lens on the camera, but I haven’t experimented extensively. Getting everything lined up is obviously critical, and most recently I mounted both sight and camera on separate tripods. That worked pretty well, but took some doing.

I’m wondering if anyone has other tips to make the process easier.
Thanks for all responses.
