I found this which shows where the sensor is. It would seem that the auto focuser is around 3/4 -1 inch embedded, the tiny t-ring adapter is like around 1/2 inch, the nose piece is around 1.2 inches.....so all together the auto focus would be around 2.3 inches? I cant seem to find exact distance of sensor but a common number i come across is 44mm? Thats a bit bigger distance around 1.7 inches which would mean the total is around 3-3.4inches, now it does seem like it would be a tad to far, the focuser would have to be all the way in. As reference my 32mm eyepiece is around 2.75inch long and focuser has about an inch left after full focus. So as not to waste money it would seem going for canon 1000d has very high chance to not work and id be out of the money for nothing.

As for the dslr not being able to focus, after some research i was able to find that i should use a Baader Ultra Short Canon EOS T-Ring and a 1.25" T-Adapter(nose piece) which would make the camera closer to or the same distance as just using a regular eyepiece. camera attaches to T-ring which attaches to t-adapter which will then fit in the focuser tube? I do have a barlow, so if need be the t-adapter can go into it which then slides in the focuser tube.

Great picture My plan was to directly connect the camera to the scope. Never owned a real camera in my life lol. I have found a Canon EOS Rebel XS body only for just 80 bucks.

Hey, so im new to astrophotgraphy myself. I am using an orion skyquest xt6 dobsonian telescope and for past year or so i have only been using my samsung phone to capture images/videos of moon, jupiter, saturn. Just recently started to dive back into it after playing around with registax. I want to get a cheap camera thats better then my phone so i can also start to possibly capture some deep field photos and stack with them dss and also better shots of planets and such. So far about the only one i have found thats pretty cheap is this one https://www.amazon.com/Canon-EOS-Rebel-T100-Sunshine/dp/B08TCHD797/ref=pd_ybh_a_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GB2Z80A70ER6RY6K61MN. For a reference heres what i was able to do with my samsung s7 edge phone the other day. Its extremely hard to get these shots on a dobsonian because the earth rotates to dang fast! They are not much but hell of a lot better then last year when i had no clue of stacking and they were just basically light blobs lol. I still have a long ways to go as i have never used any photo editing software like photoshop or gimp. Any review on said camera or tip towards any other cheap camera will be appreciated.
