You'd probably be better off asking that in the equipment or Canon thread in the Dorkroom, unless you want to put a telescope on instead of a lens, in which case give us some more information on what you are trying to achieve.

I want to take cool pictures of space?

My first astrophotography. Taken off my deck with a Canon Rebel XTi with a standard lens. 30 second timer.

I just got a Gallileoscope! :dance:

I'm having a bit of difficulty getting to see objects. I have it on a tripod, but it's so hard to find objects since everything is upside down. A few minutes ago I had Jupiter in my sights, but it just looked like a smudgy ball.

Any recommendations? It comes with three lens combinations, but I'm not sure what to use.
