Canon SX40

Can a canon SX40 be used with a telescope and if so what would it take to set it up also what about a Panasonic FZ40 I own both of them and was trying to see if I could use either for doing pics of the moon. Thanks Taz

Taz, as you cannot remove the lens on either camera, you can't use them at prime focus (replace the ep with a camera). You can use the afocal method, hold the camera to an ep and take a shot though it. The moon should work that way. The planets may work.
