    Not the only place and it can be confusing as you'll need two items usually, the converter for the telescope and the T2 adapter for your particular camera.

    Depends on the telescope, I've a 4" Reflector Goto and I've put a 350D and IDMKIII on it ~ not very successfully.

    I could NOT focus my 350D, I could focus using Live View on my 1DMKIII but that's like way, way, way toooooooo heavy for any attempt after an experiment.

    I mounted my 350D and 7D on a crappy Lidl telescope with a screw on t-mount adapter for the eye piece. I had to reposition the mirror of the telescope to get it to focus.

    Search google for your model of telescope to see if it's possible to focus an SLR on it with out too much pain.

    Here's one of the few shot I took with it.
