You'll need a T adaptor for your camera (whatever make it is) and a 1.25" screw in adaptor. This will allow you to put the camera into the eyepiece holder instead of an eyepiece. Bear in mind, this will upset the balance of the telescope so make sure the mount is strong enough to carry the extra weight. Try hanging the camera, minus lens fron the front of the barrel and see it it falls over!
If you want to use an eyepiece for greater magnification, you will need an eyepiece projection adaptor which is basically a sliding tube, holding the eyepiece, that goes between the camera adaptor and the telescope.
