Question?

[mistermoe]

I have a Rebel xti and I was wondering if it is possible to shoot pictures using a telescope? I hope this is not too silly a question.

many telescopes have adapters to mount SLR cameras. you just need to find one that works with the Canon EF mounting system.

It's not a silly question, don't worry! :) As mentioned, it is a common practice for nature lovers and astronomers alike. Look up "digiscoping" on google for some good sites with plenty of info. Here's a couple: http://www.scopesnskies.co.uk/digiscoping/

Also have a look at the astro section here for a look at how they set up their gear.

You could also pose this question on the astronomy and celestial threads. The guys in there are very experienced and could probably give you some recommendations if you let them know what you are hoping to atake images of and what your budget is.
