O.K. not a scope that I'm familiar with, so to find out if it is suitable, set up on the moon without an eyepiece in the scope, remove your camera's
lens. Hold the camera up to the focuser, and whilst looking through the viewfinder and moving the camera nearer to the focuser, see if you can focus on the moon[ the focuser should be racked right in]. If you can focus with a gap of at least around 20-25mm between the camera and the focuser, you should be able to get a T-ring, T-adaptor setup to work. You will definitely need a Canon T-ring. How the T-ring will connect to
the scope depends on the focuser fittings your scope has.
Many Newtonians do not permit prime focus work without modding
the scope in one or more ways. If that turns out to be the case with yours
you can get a bracket that will hold your camera up to the eyepiece.
