Quick, run outside and see the Moon and Mars about 1/2 degree apart! I happened to have my bird photography setup nearby, and snapped this:

Hey Ken,

Thanks for sharing this shot. It is really awesome. Thanks also for posting the exif info. Question though - and please pardon me if this sounds stupid - how do you integrate the camera with the telescope?

James

Although this shot was taken with an ordinary 400 mm prime, most modern DSLR's work fine with telescopes by purchasing a "T-ring" that fits your lens mount, and an adapter that screws onto that (using a standard T-thread) to fit most any 'scope. You can also just buy an adapter that drops into a standard 1.25" or 2.00" eyepiece holder.
Focusing is sometimes a bit difficult, although you can focus on bright stars and then point the scope at your real target, as I did with my comet shots.
Time to open some presents now!!
