Hello All!

To the folks who replied, Thank you very much for replying to my post.

I had a long chat with a very helpful Canon representative yesterday.

He confirmed first if all:

All Canon DSLRs have "release shutter without lens" functionality and if it is not a menu item then it works automatically.

He then had me Clear all setting effectively resetting my camera

He then had me switch the camera to all modes before the green box which is full auto and voila!! I could see through my telescope. Of course I had to use the T mount, inseet the telescope eyepiece in the extension tube, mount the setup on my telescope and I could see clearly.

I had a blast watching the moon and jupiter and its four moons dance around the moon all night.

Its amazing how is a span of a few hours the four moons around jupiter travel around jupiter and how our moon carries jupiter as it travels. Just so beautiful!

I called Canon this morning to send a special thanks to this gentleman. Following are the lknks he sent me during our call:

I was so impressed with the support I received.

We have a resolution thank you for permitting me to ask my question and to Steve, Jethro and Ray for helping.

I'm going to stick around this wonderful site and learn something.
