How would one do astrophotography with a telescope and well-known DSLR camera brand like Nikon or Canon?

Lens. Lens. Lens!
It’s possible! I’ve done it!!!!
Like, a lens with a special adapter or something? Maybe just duct tape the camera to the telescope? 😂
Honestly, I can respond more soon but being able to film, & take multiple images over the span of hours with a low shutter speed is the key.
Then you blend all the images to formulate an entire image… that’s usually how it’s done for beginners at this, I have found.
You can use a DSLR and a standard lens as a starting point but there is a very deep astrophotography rabbit hold to fall down! This video on YouTube was one of them that got me started on this:
I will be trying this 🌌

I am just here to assist.
You need a time & location with clear skies as well - it’s called “full visibility”
You’d be surprised how far your normals lens can go & how much of the distortion you can manipulate
Hence, why I believe our images of space are mostly skewed as evidence because it’s all very heavily treated photographs
Fight me over this too 🫡👊🏽💥
If you look at the images of an object on Astrobin you find that the colours in particular are all different. It’s somewhat of an “artistic” decision in the processing as to how the final result looks.
Especially when using narrowband filters and the mapping colours to them like the Hubble images.
