They are amazing shots and the camera is so powerful! Can't you attach your camera to a telescope to photograph the night sky? Is it called scoping or something?

Yes, you can with a T-Ring. A T-Ring couples your 35 mm camera body to a T-Adapter, Radial Guider or Tele-Extender. This accessory is required if you want to do any type of photography through a telescope or spotting scope.

It's called "digiscoping". There are a couple of good resources on it here and here. It's often used for bird photography as it's a great way of getting very close images from a great distance.

Also, if you're interested, SRB Griturn sell just about everything you need for digiscoping apart from the camera and scope.
