darkmonty,

I have never heard of Traveler brand or model spotting scopes. Please provide a link.

Canon makes a filter/macro adapter for the A95 that snaps on to the ring around the lens. That adapter is threaded at the end to accept filters and other optical devices. I can't remember the thread size, sorry. There are third-party adapter as well that serve the same purpose. This adapter can be used to connect the camera to the scope.

To do this you need a second "adapter" that connects your scope to the Canon adapter. It can be either made specifically for your scope, a universal type adapter, or a homemade adapter.

I suggest you review the variety of options discussed in Andy Bright's Digiscoping Forum under "Digiscoping Adapters" here on BF. Here's the link:

Also, here's the link to the adapter I made for my scope (Vortex Skyline 80) and camera (Fuji F31fd):

Best of luck and let us know if you need any other advice.
