I have nothing specific to say about EOS stuff here but, in general terms, about
using a telephoto as a "telescope:"
I wouldn't waste too much effort on it. I did. A few dollars too. I was able to
neatly and professionally cobble together an adapter that enabled me to use my
800mm f5.6 IF-ED Nikk

Try to find an EOS to T-mount (or M42) adapter.

telescopes) which can be used in reverse as an eyepiece
holder for T-mount lenses. (Normally this adapter
would be used to mount a T-mount camera to their
telescope.)

wildlife.
My first question is - does anyone know where I c
