I am debating(with myself) about upgrading my spotting scope. I would like to be able to take pictures with the new spotter. I have spent several hours on the web, trying to find a good site that would explain the available options. I have not been able to find any good information. Does anyone have any good links, or good information? Or any good recommendations? Thanks, Tom.

Tom,

Probably the easiest way to connect any spotting scope with a digital camera (assuming it has a threaded hole for mounting underneath) is to use a Universal Digiscoping Adapter. They can be found at places like Adorama, B&H Photo, etc... I will try to provide a link to one below.

Using a digital camera with a spotting scope is referred to as digiscoping. You might find more info via google, etc... if you use that term. By far the most informative site I have found on the various techniques, equipment, etc... is http://www.birdforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=243.

If there is anything specific you would like to know I will do my best to help you. I have some experience with it.
