BTW I've discovered teathering.
Some DSLR bodies have Live View and a video output jack.
You just run a HDMI cable from the camera to a TV set, an HD TV will have the highest resolution.
It is SOOOOO much easier to compose and focus when looking at a large screen than looking into the viewfinder or at the little 3" LCD screen on the camera.
Also the Manfrotto 410 tripod head has 3 knobs, one for each axis, to move the camera.
They each have a coarse and fine control.
At the highest magnifications this is a god-send for moving the camera just a tiny bit in any direction.
I was using a Gitzo ball head before and tiny adjustments were nearly impossible.
