Hi Adrian,

have you read this article? http://www.iceinspace.com.au/63-431-0-0-1-0.html

if you have an existing DSLR you can attach to the scope by buying a t-ring and t-mount.

a smart phone are also not bad at taking pics of the moon. the planets are more of a challenge. here's an old iphone shot I took from eyepiece of my dob https://www.flickr.com/photos/80336656@N07/9139060237/in/photostream/lightbox/
