Something like this is what you're looking for. If you want to use your phone instead, you'll need an additional adapter to thread it on.
In the future, you might consider a DSLR and T-adaptor so you can shoot at prime focus.
I am thinking that because the scope is so small that I would be better off with a steady pix camera holster.

I don't want to overload it with an already terrible mount (EQ1) but i think yours will do just fine with your Canon DSLR.
I've got:
Canon t2i (ive got the technique down)
Orion SkyView Pro 8" Equatorial Reflector Telescope
