I use an Olympus C-2100 digital camera. It has "only" 2.1 Megapixel, but a 27x zoom (10x optical) and image stabilization. They used to sell on ebay for around $450. I hear prices went up recently. For the far away stuff I hook it up to a Celestron C-5 spotting scope, using a Scopetronix Maxview 40 eyepiece projection adapter. The adapter is not cheap, but worth every cent!!
With the zoom of the camera it allows a usable effective focal length of over 5000mmm (!). You can go up to about 10000mm, but then you start loosing quality.
