Alpen Optical company has come up with a universal Digiscope setup. This is the adapter you can use to take pictures through any scope.
You can take close up pictures just like those nature photographers who spent thousands and you only spent hundreds.
Enjoy!
can any telescope work or must be special bracket to hold the telescope and camera together

Virtually any scope will work, I just measured the distance from the tripod mount to the eyepiece on the adapter and has a limit of 14" so don't exceed that. That should fit just about anything though.

This will work with any "Compact" camera with a tripod thread. "SLR's" won't work and the scope can be either straight through or a 45degree view. The elevation adjustments have incredible versatility. If your using a compact it is worth buying and using it. Suggest having a camera with a remote or image stability to reduce blur.
Take care and have fun!
