Just wondering, I think it would be cool if I can make a 10x zoom for my Macbook iSight, and combine it with a periscope contraption.

All for bona fide purposes of course.

I'm rather sure you could simply use a 10x lens attached to the periscope.

I remember reading about a guy who hooked an iSight up to his telescope. It should be possible.
