I never did get any better photographs of snowflakes last year so I decided to try again this year. I have an old inspection scope body that I was able to fit with a long working distance objective and the my D80 with a T mount adapter for the eyepiece. By using a front surface mirror I can collect snowflakes on glass microscope slides which go on the small platform shown. An inexpensive LED goose-neck light can be easily (ha!) adjusted to illuminate the snowflake at night. The quality of snowflakes last night was not too good (don't blame me) but at least I have something set up that should be good when the good snowflakes arrive!
