About a year back I stumbled across a web site dedicated to digiscoping. Now I see that an internet search will give you dozens of sites to visit.
The scope/camera recommended was an early-model Nikon digital camera. That particular camera, the model I've forgotten, was said to feature the right combination of camera performance and accessories for digiscope photography. It was the perfect camera for use with a straight-line Swarovski high quality scope. A main consideration was matching the eye-relief of the scope with the focal-point within the digital camera in order to keep the image in its output form. Angled and in-line scopes required different kinds of adaptors, too. Some of the digiscopers displayed their work, and mighty fine work it was, too. None of them, though, was able to do much with wildlife because of long exposure times. Photographing birds was extraordinarily demanding of equipment and patience. But, who knows ... maybe the pros have beat that problem by now. - Edward
