Digiscoping: What do I need? (Updated 2017)

What do I need to get started?

As mentioned before, you really only need a compact digital camera (point and shoot, mirrorless or DSLR) or an iPhone/Android camera, and a spotting scope. An adapter is recommended if you don't want to hand-hold shots, and other accessories can be added to increase your photographing pleasure.
