Attaching my camera to LXD75 mount

Hey guys.

I was looking at getting a Vixen Polaire or similar but i thought i might aswell get a whole goto mount used for the same price.

So i am picking up a Meade LXD75 goto mount on the weekend.

At the moment i want to use it to mount my DSLR on it and get some widefield photography.
Later on im thinking of putting a scope on it (thinking ED100 or the likes)

Anyway, what equiptment would i need to mount my camera on it without breaking the budget.

At the moment i have a GSO dob so im not familiar with the dovetails etc.

A quick check looks like i would need a vixen style dovetail with a 1/4" camera screw and then a ballhead.

Is this the best way to do this?

Thanks,
Luke
