I'M READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP: Zoom in on distant subjects with this simple set-up.

Digiscoping is the process of coupling a digital camera to a spotting scope to photograph distant subjects. Digiscopes are popular with hunters and birdwatchers. By shooting digital photos through a powerful scope, you can produce highly magnified photographs with the same image quality as that of a camera with a 3,000mm– 4,000mm focal length lens.
