Could you please show me how you hold/attach the camera to the eyepiece?
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Stick with it mate, it gets easier as you learn, It took me ages to get some good images.
All I used was an adaptor that attaches to the eyepiece and then allows the camera to attach to itself in front of the eyepiece.
Below is a few photos of the adaptor and the way in which it fits the telescope. The adaptor I got locally from Erina.
Good luck and feel free to PM me if you want to come around to look closer.
I am close to you at Umina.
Geoffro.
