can you attach any digital camera to the telescope to take pictures with it?

I'm sure there are ways to attach other point and shoot digital cameras but I have a T-ring adapter for my DSLR camera.

With an adapter of some kind you should be able to, but because of the added weight you will have to balance the telescope again with the camera attached. To use a DSLR you would need a T-Adapter and T-Ring I think. For a normal digital camera with a tripod mounting hole you can use something like a SteadyPix mount, but it is quite heavy and combined with the weight of the camera may be a bit too much for the focuser on the telescope. Also, this scope is a "slow" F/10.1, so it may not be ideal for astrophotography, but I have taken some pics with my phone attached to it and they aren't horrible, but they aren't anything special either (except to me, haha) With an adapter of some kind you should be able to, but because of the added weight you will have to balance the telescope again with the camera attached.

The correct answer should be "Well, Maybe Yes***, kind-a / sort-a". Attempting to use this with an astronomical telescope will present plenty of "challenges". 1. Getting the imager congruent with the image plane. The camera comes with a 30mm OD adaptor, which should fit a 1-1/4" eyepiece holder. 2. The f/speed of the system, and imaging speed of the device, may limit what you can capture with this system. Since this is made for microscopes, the lighting in usually adjustable by the user. But for astrophotography, you might be able to capture the moon, and larger / brighter planets may be within reach of a moderate size (8"+) objective. However as there is little or no real integration time, stars and nebulae are unlikely targets. 3. Resolution may disappoint you. This device only records 2 megapixels. That may seem like a lot, but I'm used to more. Also dynamic range is in question here. Ultimately, it depends on your needs, expectations, pocket book, and willingness to make it work in an application it wasn't designed for. But if you think you are up to the challenges, go for it!

There are digital cameras made specifically for use with microscopes that you can connect to you computer. To use them, you would remove the eyepiece from the microscope and replace it with the digital camera. If you have an SLR type camera that you would want to use, there are microscope adapters available, usually specific to the camera brand you want to use. Amazon should have a selection of microscope cameras and SLR adapters, for which ever way you choose to go.

The camera mounts to the platform and needs to have a screw hole in the camera for attachment. The clamp looking thing goes around the eyepiece of your telescope.

No it does not, this telescope is pretty heavy and suited to a sturdy tripod. The average camera tripod is not recommended.

I don't think a camera can be attached to this scope. I bought one and returned it because I could not attach a camera.

That would depend on the telescope weight. In reality you are bett6er of with a tripod or mount designed for your telescope.

You can if you have one. Most T mounts and astrophotography equipment and software is actually set up to use Cannon products...

It should work with your telescope. I have a 70mm refractor telescope and have used the celestron digital camera adapter with it to take photos of the moon with a point and shoot digital camera.

I dont know if its possible unless you can get something sturdy to attach it to and keep the telescope balanced. You can try looking for a table top tripod but the telescope has to be secure otherwise it might fall because its heavy and bulky

Thank you for your interest. Dobsonian reflectors are not suitable for astrophotography. This optical tube is optimized for visual use and will not reach focus with a DSLR attached. One can do afocal photography only with this model which is essentially the same as holding the camera (with lens) up to the eyepiece. There are accessories available to facilitate this method that basically clamp the camera to the eyepiece.

No, this telescope is perfect to see the moon but other planets or galaxies is too much for him. Also you can't use the Canon EOS 60D, it wont fit.

Yes, that is it. I bought it and it screws into your telescope and the camera attaches to it. It essentially turns your telescope into a big lens.

The way it is, no. You'll have to add a 3rd party accessory. If this is your primary intention, prefer to buy a telescope.

You will also need a T ring in addition to this which actually connects to your camera. This part would go from the T ring to the telescope. Something like this: Celestron 93419 T-Ring for 35 mm Canon EOS Camera (Black)As someone else mentioned, this combination will attach your camera to your telescope, but each telescope is different and additional parts may be needed (such as a barlow) to bring it to focus. Alternatively, consider using this product instead, which has a T thread hidden under the rubber eye cup. Remove it and attach it to the T ring i mentioned above and then you don't need the barlow and you can zoom in/out to frame your picture better.

You need 2 things, a T ring for whichever DSLR you have and an adapter to fix the T ring to the telescope. Heres a link for the universal adapter, but you'll have to find a T ring that fits your camera. Orion 1.25-Inch Variable Universal Camera Adapter

Yes you can... But you will need a t adaptor... Celestron steels one and a canon mount adaptor to connect the T-adaptor to your camera. The also sell t-adaptor with built in barllows for more magnification.
