:p i know a fair a bit about astrology thank you :p hehe

Shame you're not on about Astronomy. A friend has recently bought some nice kit.

Never knew you could use a camera/telescope to work out Horoscopes lol.
 
Depends on the scope and the camera but the answer is usually yes you can connect a DSLR to a telescope. I have a Skywatcher 80ED that is converted for birding and connected to any of my Canon DSLRs via a T2 to EOS adaptor. I have fitted an AF confirm chip in the adaptor but you would normally not require that for astro photography.

A useful reference for using telescopes and cameras together is:

There are also sites aimed purely at astro photography and the post processing techniques required but the above will give you a good idea of the hardware required and how to connect it all together.
