The latest Citizen Scientist has a short how-to on making a telephoto lens from a spotting scope - "You can make a telephone lens for your camera with a spotting scope and a center-slotted aluminum bracket... The camera is attached to the bracket with a bolt that fits the camera's tripod mount. The spotting scope is attached using appropriate hardware." - Link.
