I just hold the camera up to the scope eyepiece and jiggle, twist, and zoom in or out until I think I see an image on the LCD, then shoot. As a result, these are my very best digiscope shots. Still, I\u2019m intrigued by the possibility. (And would accept a nice scope as a gift.) I\u2019m sure someone would prefer to crop these photos, but I actually like the shape of the scope.
