Subject: Digiscoping with SLRs

given the subject with coolpix and other smaller cameras, i was wondering if
anyone had succeeded in attaching SLR cameras to swarovski and leica (or
other well-known) scopes?

from what little i've seen so far, the scoping manufacturers have not
created attachments that allow SLRs to digiscope... i've sent several
emails to swarovski and leica, with no reply...

i've heard from anacortes it is possible. however, i've not seen or heard
from anyone who has actually done it... are there tweeters out there who
have attached SLRs to their scopes and not only lived to tell the tale, but
printed or sold high-quality images?

or, is this a matter of size? i know you can attach SLRs to telescopes,
usually using a standard t-mount, but most telescopes are far too bulky or
heavy to be portable enough for birding...

thanks in advance...
