I've not used a D50, but did try digiscoping with my EOS 300D, with disapointing results. I tried both methods that have been recommended to you:
Classic digiscoping (using the camera with a lens and scope with an eyepeice), was not very effective - The set up was very back heavy and the results were worse than I was getting with a compact digital camera. A friend tried using a D70 with a Swarovski scope and had similar problems.
Photo adapter - this method does not deliver the same high mags as true digiscoping, so does not offer the same advantages. It takes time to set up, you have to remove the camera lens and scope eyepeice before you start, and it's not easy to switch between viewing and photography. I also found that the light gathering was very poor, so you needed a really nice day to get shutter speeds high enough for practical use.
