Hi Luke,

I have a Celestron C8 scope on an Advanced VX mount and I got the following dovetail mount from Bintel to mount my DSLR on the mount instead of the scope to take wide field photographs.

The only issue you may face as I did was that the counter weight supplied with the mount (5kg) was too heavy for just the DSLR on it so you may have to look for a smaller counter weight for the mount to balance it. Having it imbalanced affects the tracking so exposures start getting star trailing very quickly.
