Default Helios and Digital Photography

Hello,
I have a Helios reflector, D=114 F=900 and I'm looking to buy a
digital camera. Now the camera will be used mainly for advertising shots of
kites (taken whilst flying) for selling on E-Bay and suchlike. But it would
be a shame to buy a camera that doesn't fit my telescope. What should I look
for in the way of mounts etc to ensure compatibility?
Also, any recommendations of good digital cameras would be very
helpful. I'm just about to start researching the subject and looking to
spend approx. £100. One thing... I'd like good control over shutter speed
to enable taking pictures of lightning and other long exposure effects.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I'm at the stage of
putting "Digital Photography" into Copernic and diving in to the subject
headfirst. It looks like a long night ahead if I'm going to do the "legwork"
and end up with the right camera!

Les
