I believe that is when you use a spotting scope as a zoom on a camera. I wanted to use mine like that but never got around to it. You know how them roundtoits can be.

there are some spotting scopes you can put a adapter on and use a small point and shoot to take photos with the come out really good to.

Nope thats the coloniscope, the digiscope is when they just say drop 'em and bend over.

Conor,

I remember reading a website that told how to hook up a small digital camera to a spotting scope using cardboard and the pictures were awesome, I will look for the link.

I would love to buy a good spotting scope for this purpose, but all the ones I see are way out of my price range. Does anyone know a good one that isn't so pricey?

Here are a few links I found but I couldn't find the one explaining how to do it with card board.
