Since I had some opera glasses sitting around, I decided to see if taking pictures through it worked. It turned out to be almost impossible to focus them while holding them in front of the camera, but with the addition of a tripod/clamp attachment to fasten it to the camera it is possible to focus a bit. Pictures are still blurry, but it works better than I thought it would. I suspect some of the blurriness is still due to poor focus since it is hard to evaluate images on the small screen on the camera (and the optical viewfinder is separate).

The camera is a Canon PowerShot A530, and the opera glasses are marked "Mayflower" but I believe lack other identifying information. The camera with the device.

I've only used to to take photos from my apartment, with targets at ranges of a few kilometers, as well as one attempt to photograph the moon. L'école Banting Middle School (I think), Coquitlam. Range is about 2.5km. St Johns St, Port Moody. The view includes the intersections with Mary St, Grant St, and Moody St (I think). The range is 3.5-4km. The Port Mann bridge and construction on the new bridge. The range is about 9km. A blurry moon.

More photos in the album, but only a couple unless I take more.
