telescope adapter

i'm wondering what kind of adapter i need to use this as a lens for my 20D. my dad will be getting the scope as a free, thanks for your service, gift from his company and i have a use for it

I am not certain on that scope but typically you will need a T-mount adapter for the camera, and a T-mount adapter for the scope. They are used on many other telescopes.

This is correct. You will need the adapter for the camera, the the T-mount for the scope is based on what size the eyepiece holder is in the focuser. I hope you are not interested in much more than moon pics, however. That is not exactly the ideal scope for astrophotography.

If you want to get into astrophotograhy this would be the way to start.

ahh not so much getting into astrophotography. it's just a free gift and i thought i'd make the best use of it. my deck has a perfect view of the moon rise.
and i'm not even sure if it's going to be that one. might be a lesser tasco junker. i just have to see what it is when it comes .

thanks for the help!
