I'm on my way to a trip to Atacama, where I will have the opportunity to shoot though telescopes. Each person will have just a few minutes, so I want to get ready.

I will google this, but does anyone have any hints?

Adelaide, I did this this once several years ago before going to DSLR. The eye piece of the telescope was rather small, naturally, so only a a small lensed camera would work. Unless if this is going to be a much larger scope for pro results, that would differ.
Any way of finding out ahead of time what to expect?

Here is a link (not sure if it is that great).

Photographs Through a Telescope

A lot of websties talk about using a T Mount:
A T-mount is a two piece adapter system designed to hook cameras to telescopes and spotting scopes. The first piece is called a T-ring and attaches to the camera. For most removable lens film cameras the T-ring attaches to the camera in place of a lens, but for cameras with non-removable lens, which is virtually all amateur level digital cameras, the T- ring attaches in front of the lens where a filter would go.

Hope this helps a little.
