astrophotography question?
My brother has a sky tour telescope Bushnell traveler, and I take pictures of the sky with my camera and telescope (At the time that just sits around collecting dust). But I can not find an adapter to hold the body of the camera for the telescope is the objective. My camera is a Canon Digital SLR-XT. If you know where to find one or what one might call please let me know, thanks!
I can sell him Orion adapter you need: ~ = category_id http://www.telescope.com/control/product/ photo_accessories / pcategory ~ = astro-imaging / ~ product_id = 05 264 Note also need a Canon EOS-T adapter. Once you find out how to do this and focus, must be able to produce images of the moon. For star clusters, galaxies, and so require a little more work, if possible at all with his telescope. You need a solid equatorial mount with a motor unit. With a less strong equatorial mount, you will have to take many short exposures and stack. Without a driven equatorial mount, will be limited to the moon. You do not say what model sky tour your brother has, but the low end Bushnells ranging from totally inadequate to (at best) unsuitable for astrophotography. Astro is a difficult exercise, even with a better telescope. I suggest that a good book about DSLR astrophotography (see links below).
