Unless you are using this with a very short focal length telescope,
there is no reason to use EP projection. Start by using the camera
directly at the focal plane of your scope. Once you are comfortable with
its operation, you can use a barlow to increase the effective focal
length of your system. With your camera, your ideal focal length for
maximizing resolution will be around 3000mm.
The only adapter you need is a simple C-to-1.25 barrel. You can get them
from Scopetronix and a variety of other places. No need for a camera
lens, no need for an eyepiece.
