I could be getting a telescope for christmas and was wondering if you can
fit a dslr camera to it and take some pictures using the telescopes zoom.
Sorry if the question sound dumb but im just getting into astronomy

Take a look through the archives of this newsgroup and look at the stuff
done by Pete Lawrence. This guy takes some amazings shots and live in a
mystical area of the country that never has clouds!!

You can photograph the Moon and Jupiter just by holding the camera to
the eyepiece, but an adaptor makes it much easier. Have fun - digital
cameras have completely transformed astrophotography. Clear skies not
guaranteed, of course.

trigger!!!

If you have plenty of time on your hands and you are willing to risk
information overload, you could have a browse of the digital astro yahoo
group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/digital_astro

That could be really irritating, but it does have the advantage that it's so
much easier when someone else does it! Pete, do you do requests?
