Digital Camera Fitting?

[MrButterRug]

Hi all ... i've recently bought myself a skywatcher 130 with an eq2 mount.

it's my first scope and i am quite happy with it. I have just started trying to take photos with my small digital camera (cannon ixus 115 hs) some of the moon have come out very nice. but its a pain in the rear end to try and hold the camera while i try and get a good shot.

ive been looking online to try and find some sort of fitting that will attach my camera straight to the eyepiece. does anybody know if there is anything like this ???

any help would be appreciated

Obviously i need a motor drive for long exposures. but i'm wondering how long can u get away with leaving the exposure on for before it distorts ???

I'd like to +1 the PH047 Ultra Afocal Digital Camera Support. One thing though. Align it during the day on a chimney or a radio antennae or something like that because there quite fiddly and it takes me a while to align them properly so I just keep mine aligned for my 10mm eyepiece.
