does your achromat take 2" eye pieces? what you'll want for starters is a K mount T adapter, this attaches to your camera in place of a lens, and presents a female T thread. then a 2" to T-thread camera adapter which screws into the previously mentioned K mount T adapter, giving your DSLR a 2" nose piece the same as a 2" EP.

From there you may be sweet, however I've not used a DSLR with a refractor. you may also need an extention tube to achieve focus.. I dont know for sure, But somebody here will... sit tight and wait for more replies.

The aforementioned adapters can be bought from bintel, myastroshop or any of the online stores, expect to pay between $35 - $50 per item.

Hope this helps.
Alex.
