I have a Canon 30D and would like to hook it up to some sort of telescope to help get some good close ups.
What do you suggest?

You can find several reference books at Orion Telescopes as well as many different kinds of adapters to mount your camera on a telescopes. Of course, they sell many different kinds of telescopes. They have an on-line tutorial abuot astrophotography, also. You can find them at www.telescope.com Near the top of the page, click on the link to "Learning Center." Enter "photography" in the search window and you will get 20-some references. Of course, they will mention Orion products, which I find to be excellent, but you can use the information anyhow, even if you are buying or using someone else's products.

Any quality telescope with a sturdy german equatorial mount equipped with a motor drive will do, or a telescope with a sturdy motorized fork mount and wedge.
The important thing is, the mount is of good quality. There are other factors to consider, such as focal ratio and aperture and filters and such.
You should ask the best way to get started in the astrophotography formu on www.astromart.com

Check out the website of Meade. They sell CCD's which you can connect to the eyepice of their telescope and view the image. They also make adapters do you can replace the eyepiece with your lens.
