Take a look at the top two items. These are designed to hold a compact camera up to the eyepiece for afocal imaging. Adaptors

Thanks for that my m8 said somthing about Prime Focus? sorry for being a bit of a dullhead. I would like to place the lens in the eyepiece (holder).

Unfortunately compact cameras with fixed lenses are unsuitable for prime focus photography. The camera lens is removed on a DSLR and the telescope then becomes a large telephoto lens.
