Hi Layth,

You can always use a digital camera for eyepiece projection of the moon for
starters.
The next thing you can do if you dont have a whole lotta money is build a
barndoor drive,( homemade startracker) for around 20-30 dollars.
All you do is mount your camera on it and you can use 20mm lenses up to
about 135 mm if it is construced well.
Thiis will give you the beginning steps of tracking the movement of the sky.

Or if you get a GEM, you can attach your scope as a guidescope and take
piggyback shots with telephotos

The more $ you have, the faster you progress and the more you can do...that
is, if you are passionate about it.

Robert Reeves also has a good website on beginning astropic'n

Good fortune,
Brian
