Removable lens barrel might, Bayonet mount might. Model number in the "Canon" (not cannon, that's artillery) brand might. There are thousands of adapters and camera brackets on Internet to connect various cameras to various parts of telescopes. Without more than 58mm Canon and "my telescope" and "eyepiece", I would be guessing. Without knowing what you wish to take pictures of, I cannot tell you what path to take for good results. Look on Internet at or or or for items that might help.<a href="http://www.businessbrokersguide.com/loan-business-broker-opportunity.htm"> Starrysky</a> The 58mm doesn’t mean anything in describing cameras. 35mm might.

If so you can get an adapter that takes the place of the camera lens. You put the adapter on the camera, take the eyepiece out of the telescope and put the camera in the empty eyepiece holder. Then the telescope becomes a large telephoto lens for the camera. The adapter is custom for each camera, and it may take some effort to find. Check at high end camera stores. Also, check out the Digital_Astro Yahoo group. If your camera is a lower end camera with a fixed lens that cannot be removed, the best you can do is get some kind of bracket to physically hold the camera in place with it's lens pointing into the eyepiece of the telescope. Some companies like Orion sell general purpose brackets. Or you can make one. Or even just use lots of duct tape! In a pinch you can just hand hold the camera up to the eyepiece, but that will only work for bright objects like the Moon and bright planets. And the results will be poor.<a href="http://www.healthstorebargains.com/srch/srch.php?q=PMS+relief"> campbelp2002</a> Does your camera have a removable lens?
