My mom has a concert coming up. She told me to get myself a tripod. But instead of wasting money I thought of making it from my telescope. :)
Thingies you'll be needing,
1. Telescope with tripod ( I got my screws from the actually telescope dismounted)
2. Camera ( I got a Samsung camera)
3. 5 mintues 

Testing

Before you use my method use your own. Test out ways you can mount it. 

My Scope.

I am not sure what I was using but I knew it fit in the camera hole ( the other one:)). So i put it in and scavenged another piece from the telescope.

Now Place Your Camera

You can now place your camera hole in to the screw. And thats it. It can also swivel if you have a good telescope. So ENJOY =D
