Hi Dave,
You're right you will need some other things.
And here's a surprise you get to spend more money.
You'll need a Focal Reducer at least.
Here's a link to one at Bintel to give you an idea.

Although you'll have to buy the correct size for your refractor.
This attaches directly to the focussing tube.
If you read the link it says you'll need a "wide" T ring adaptor because the thread to attach it to the reducer is wider...bummer..more money.

From my very limited experience I think this is the minimum you'll need.
Good luck and good hunting.

Cheers,
Ken.
