Unless your eyepieces have a bayonet on the end of them they won't connect to a DSLR. You will still need a T adaptor. It has a bayonet to connect to the camera on one end and a 42mm thread on the other end to connect to the scope.
I think the eyepiece connection is to use a camera through an eyepiece. This entails connecting your camera with a lens attached to the eyepiece. This is only used for imaging very small objects like planets. The weight of a big DSLR would put quite a load on a little eyepiece.
For all other imaging the scope is connected to the camera as if the scope is the camera lens with no eyepiece used.
