I am hoping to find a good/excellent spotting scope (brand) that has the ability to have a DSLR directly attach to it. I do not think that Swarovski offers this...Any help is appreciated.
 
Swaro offered the TLS800 adapter. You might try to find a used one.

I feel that Swarovski has one of the best digiscope adapters. Look at the DCA. Or look at Tines Up.com with no space between Tines and Up (this website will not let me put them both together) and look at the new adapter that they sell for $70.00. Also look at digiscoped.com and look under digiscope adapters for more options. fatrooster.

Leica can get you there. If you head down the Leica line of optics I may be interested in letting go of my 42300 adapter that connects a Leica 62 or 77 mm spotter to any 35mm or DSLR camera, I used it with a Canon T1i with a T2 ring so you could use it with any camera but you would need to get the correct T2 ring per your camera make and model. It turns your 77mm spotter into a 800mm & 640mm for the 62mm lens at F10.4 I believe. You could google it to see what they look like but it is just a high quality tube made specifically for Leica. Take a look around and you may be able to find one of those adapters on ebay or somwhere else on the net. The adapter is extremely hard to find anymore so I'm not sure I want to part with it but recently all I have been using are point and shoots behind the scope. I guess mostly because they are lighter and can zoom in farther than the DSLR.
P.S. And I'm not scared of damage to the point and shoots as they are a couple hundred vs over $1000+ for the DSLR's
