To attach it to a telescope you need a couple of adapters.... depending on your telescope..
For a refractor, you will likely need an extension tube, a T thread to 2" adapter, and an EOS to T Thread adapter.
For a newtonian, you will usually need the EOS to T thread + T thread to 2" adapter, and you will need to modify the telescope in some way to get the SLR to focus.
This can be done by moving the primary mirror closer to the secondary mirror, installing a low profile focuser, or using a televue paracorr..
Les - Thats the thing I was forgetting to mention... To use your 10" newt, you'll need to modify the tube to allow the slr to focus...
