Do you have a threaded adaptor on your scope rings? what scope/mount do you have?

Here's a variety of methods:

Depending on what camera you have - most commonly a T-ring is used to attach to either a focuser tube adaptor or a step down ring and eyepiece combination. But the universal camera adaptor will fit anything with a standard tripod threaded hole in the bottom

Very easy. Close the colet over the eyepiece, mount the point & shoot on the rear bracket, align and shoot! you may find them a lot cheaper on ebay. You can even handhold the camera over the eyepiece to give you an idea what to expect.
