Coupling DSLR to Telescope

I have a Celestron 5" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. I want to capture images with a Canon 60D, but I have not succeeded at this time. I am looking for help and more information on the proper coupling between the telescope and camera. Thank you.

I see that you have no reply after a month. Hmmm...

I use a 60D on a 150 mm reflector scope. I don't know your scope, but with mine I simply remove the eyepiece and unscrew the eyepiece holder, then screw a T-ring (Canon mount) where the eyepiece holder was. Then simply attach the camera to the T-ring as you would a lens. That's all there is to it. A T-ring is not very expensive - check them out at your local dealer or on Ebay.
