Using a digital camera

I have an Olympus FE-20 digital camera that's just lying around.

I am very new to Astrophotography. A while ago I took a few photos of the moon and Jupiter and they came out ok. It was hard to get a clear photo because I was holding the camera manually to the eyepiece and it was hard to focus the lens on the eyepiece hole.

Could someone advise me on how to use a digital camera properly with a telescope?

I have read the webcam guide under the Projects and Articles review but since I have a 8 mega pixel camera I would very much like to use it!

Thanks!
