[mou] Digiscoping set up

[Laura Erickson]

Now that I have a job with a company that sells optics, I'm reluctant to 
post about subjects related to optics, but a lot of people have been asking 
me exactly how my digiscoping set up works.  I'm particularly proud of a 
little homemade adaptor that I've made that works really well for holding a 
"point-and-shoot" digital camera against a spotting scope, which I made 
from the measuring cup that comes with liquid Nyquil (a company with which 
I have absolutely no financial ties--I just happened to go through a lot 
this winter when I had pneumonia) and an outer tube that could easily be 
duplicated for other spotting scopes using a toilet paper tube or even just 
duct tape.  I put a page about my "point-and-shoot digiscoping" here:

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of 
birds.  There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of 
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.
