You can take basic pictures of the Moon and some of the brighter planets using a handheld digital camera or your smartphone's camera, shooting through the eyepiece. You can get better pictures if you buy a bracket to attach your camera to the eyepiece, or you can buy adapters to attach a DSLR body to the focuser without using an eyepiece. You can also take reasonable wide sky shots using a DSLR with its own lens, and you don't need a telescope at all.
To go beyond that, you NEED to buy a specialised astrophotography camera. Once the bug has bitten, the sky is the limit (literally!) for how much you can spend.
