Hi Jed,

If you were going to use the SLR's then all you would need is a T adapter (www.modernastronomy.com sells them), you remove the eyepeice and the camera lense and the T ring connects the two - using the telescope as the camera lens.

With the Digicam (I'm not overly familiar with your model) but you can either hold it to the EP with your hand - you'll be suprised at the results you can get with that. Or you can buy one of these...

This will enable you to line up (almost) any camera to (almost) any eyepeice for £32 - this is how I started taking pictures...

A lot will depend on the spec of the camera you have, does it have manual focus, does it have manual exposure... etc etc
