John, the photography technique using a digital camera and a spotting scope is called digiscoping. The techniques were fathered by an amazing bird photographer named Lawrence Poh. He and those who have followed have done some amazing work in bird identification and verification.
The last few years have seen cell phones equipped with very high quality cameras and now many are using cell phones in lieu of digital cameras for their digiscoping hobby.
