Hi Clayton,
To take photos through your dob is quite easy, i used an orion steady pix camera adapter from bintel around $60, near identical to the cheaper one you have found on ebay. To use them the actual clamp end goes over any 1.25" eyepeice you have inserted in your dob, tighten up and attatch your camera via the small threaded screw on the long plate. Just line everything up and away you go. I managed to get some good pics of the moon and a couple of jupiter but your limited to only bright objects. Anything else you will need tracking (this is my delema at the moment). Goodluck with it all any questions just ask.

Cheers
Scott
