Hi Odille

You absolutely can! You just need the appropriate adapter to hold the camera on the mount using some sort of dovetail bar.

You'll need to attach a tripod head or similar so a dovetail bar, where the dovetail bar gets held in the mount (where the telescope dovetail bar + rings normally go).
You then just screw the tripod head into your camera like any normal tripod, and then turn the tracking on.

You just need to adjust your counterweights by using more or less of them, to balance the camera on the mount.

Most people with those type of setups usually have a tripod adapter on top of their telescope rings, like in a piggy-back setup.
