Question about astro photography from a newb.

HI Guys/Gals.

I'm pretty new to amature astronomy having only bought my Meade ETX125 (shoulda got the meade 12" lightbridge but thats next ) at Xmas last year. I've been thinking of getting a web cam for the scope.

So here is my question.
If I buy a camera of some sort for the scope am I correct in assuming that my EP's cannot be used and that at the most I will only really be able to use a barlow? So I'm stuck with the normal magnification of the scope and can only increase this using a barlow? If so are there special EP's that can be bought that a web cam can fit into/onto.
I'm thinking about the Tocam web cam to start off with and if I enjoy that I may upgrade later to a DSLR.

Sorry that was more than one question.


Thanks
Sandy
