I have several cameras including a cheap digital 'point & shoot'. I got one of my best moon pix using that handheld to an eyepiece on the Newt. A bit of a fluke I admit but it is quite doable. The best advice is just to give it a go. You can buy camera mounts that will hold the camera aligned with the eyepiece.
You would need to be able to remove the lens (DSLR) to attach a camera into a scope with a T ring and adapter.
A webcam needs to be pulled to bits and the lens discarded. I ended up with just the PC board taped on the back of a black plastic film can which just happens to be 1.25' and fits the focusser. The rest is tracking and focus then process. The basic idea of it is quite simple, getting it all to work nicely is another matter altogether but don't let that put you off.
Experiment, learn, research, rinse and repeat ..
