Digiscoping specifically refers to replacing your eye with a camera at the eyepiece of the scope or binocular. There is an active community of interest specializing in imaging birds. I have augmented both still and video cameras. A google search will yield many variations. Remember that high effective magnifications require stable platforms; faster shuuter speeds help but the technique comes with an inherent loss in f/stop. A vibration reducing SLR zoom lens may provide better results if you are bouncing around. On land the technique can provide a great deal of satisfaction. The components include the scope or binocular, the camera, a bracket mating the two (hand holding is possible but gets old quickly). In the case of a spotting scope, there may be eyepieces/adaptors available to facilitate the mating. The camera generally acknowledged to enable this art was the Nikon Coolpix 950/995 which had an easy lens interface (fully internal focusing) and a decent LCD viewfinder.
