Default best way to take an image of the supernova with Rebel??

I just picked up a Canon Rebel T3 today. Although I'm primarily going to
use the camera for family outings and such, I may do a bit of
astrophotography. I'd be brand new at this, although I used to image
planets in the past with a C-8 and webcam (all sold now).

So.... all I have right now is the camera and the lens that comes with it
(55mm I think). I do have an ETX-90RA scope, but it hasn't been used in
several years. I was hoping to maybe grab a few shots or even a single shot
of the supernova in M95. It this possible with just the camera, could I use
the ETX and camera, or ?? Since I don't have much of a clock drive, I
realize I'd have to make exposures short and probably stack them.

I want to try and catch this SN before it's gone. Thanks in advance for any
help/ suggestions.

Ron
