After a bit of a search I have not found details for the scope you mention. Of those pages I have looked at Opticron do not appear to have an adaptor to attach an DSLR to the scope.

I have not tried to digiscope with a hand held DSLR so cannot comment on the difficulties of attaining focus, or what focal length to lens to use. As there are mounts available for a range of compact cameras to attatch to various scopes then the question is ' Why a DSLR ' as opposed to a compact.

A question for digiscopers is what performance can be expected from digiscoping through a ( 18-55 ) zoom eyepiece.

Details of the scope and the eyepiece that came with it may be helpful.

I am sure you would get better results using a DSLR and zoom lens xx - 300mm. Also a lot easier in use.
