Anyone know how to take pictures with a telescope?

[Mzor203]

So yeah, I'm interested in photographing the night sky (Mainly the moon) and I was wondering if anyone knows what it takes to take pictures using a telescope. I know you can using a normal digital camera, can't figure out how. I don't have a telescope yet but am getting one soon and want to know how. Thanks!

Try ask.com, or google it.

Does telling someone to Google something a really constructive reply?

I tried google, couldn't find my information. Maybe I'm searching wrong, ut I need it from someone who has experience.

You get special mounts for a camera which screws into a telescope. These are only for high-end SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses.
(mmm im researching this for you and info is very scarce)

Do a search for 'T-Ring adapter' with google or ask at your local photographic store for more info.

Else you get special camera things that are meant for telescopes.

If you have the aforementioned SLR camera you could always use (incredibly expensive) >800mm lenses if you have rich family willing to lend them to you ;)
