I am looking forward to delving into the world of digiscoping. I am a wildlife photographer and I primairily photograph birds.

I do not currently own a tripod. I always shoot off of a large bean bag. I realize I will need a tripod for my digiscoping set-up.

In order to start digiscoping I just ordered a Leupold Ventana SX-1 15-45x60mm Angled Spotting Scope and I already have Canon PowerShot S90.

So, my question is what else will I need? Specifically in terms of what specific adapters will I need to mate the Leupold scope to the S90 camera?

Also, what set-up would be needed for mounting both to a tripod? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a whole forum dedicated to digiscoping over on BirdForum - LINK (external link).

Thanks all, I did contact both UK forums as suggested and I have ordered the Celestron Universal Adapter shown in the video. Again, thank you all for the great advice and info.
