Default adapter for Canon Powershot cameras

Hi,

I've been shooting avis through my scope and then processing in Registax.
However, I do it by trying to hold the camera as steady as possible over the
eyepiece for 20 to 30 seconds. I was wondering if anyone knew of adapters
that could secure a camera like the Powershot (point and shoot type) to the
scope. My results can be seen at
http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/grou...f7?b=1&m=s&o=0
but you'll have to join the group to view them. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan
