You'll need an EOS T-Ring to attach the Camera directly to the C8, to do prime focus stuff with the ED80 you might want to get a 2" Prime focus adapter to attach the T-Ring +Camera to like the pic below.
Hope that helps

Good info, thanks Doug.
Thought I might try piggybacking at first. I can get some experience in drift aligning while I'm at it.

Still trying to decide which lens option to get with the 40D. One of the deals is with a 17-85 wide angle zoom , another with a 24-105 standard zoom.
The first sounds better for astro work, the second may be better for terrestrial stuff.

It's a long weekend so an extra day to decide
