I have a Celestron F-ED 65mm scope and a Sony A230 dslr, what else will I need to start digiscoping?

Thanks
 
Don't know much about digiscoping with SLRs, I use a nikon p6000 on my scope but I'm sure someone can help you out!
 
Preferably try photographing through the eyepiece first with something like a 28mm lens and join the two using a step ring. Check under the eyepieces rubber eye cup to see if it has a thread and get a step ring from this to the cameras filter thread. If the eyepiece doesn't have a thread then there are eyepieces available that do. Photographing through an eyepiece with either a dslr or point and shoot camera will give much better image quality than going the T2 adapter route.
