How do I take a picture looking through a scope????
I've tried and it just won't focus.
I have a Nikon Coolpix camera.

Just gotta line things up and find the correct distance. It would be helpful to have a 3rd hand. This was taken with a. iPhone

Nokia E90 Communicator & Zeiss scope. I'm still using the 15 years old Nokia.

Not a scope but with my old android, I managed this with the Garand. I think the key is to find the line up/distance sweet spot and it'll focus in.

There are devices called digiscope adapters or brackets that allow you to use cameras or cell phones to take photos through a scope of various kinds.
