I'm a star gazer, and I have recently rediscovered the pleasure of neck pains, and bug bites while viewing the stars.

Ok, enough pillow talk, to my question. Will Cannon A70, A75 or A80 cameras (I guess the lens-thing in all of them are exactly alike), fit onto something like a telescope?

My mind is pure, I would never peep at people stripping bare naked in their bathrooms. Never.

There are adapters for attaching cameras to telescopes, although finding them for SLRs might be easier. I know I've seen a couple on bhphotovideo.com. Might take some looking around for one that will fit those cameras, however, and you might need a lens adapter for the camera itself that will allow using filters and such.

Thanks joo much :). I've decided not to pursue this for now tho. My old catadioptric isn't motorized, so it's useless for everything lese except the moon, blah!
