Putting a camera directly on to the mount's dovetail

Hi, I have been exerimenting with taking night sky images with my camera (60D) and its lenses on a normal camera tripod. Have a Celestron beginner telescope with a tracking mount. Am wondering if there is a relatively cheap fitting to put the camera onto the mount's dovetail instead of the telescope, so I can try longer exposures without as much movement in the stars (concern weight of camera plus telescope is probably too much for mount).

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
Colin
