Q for the Astrophoto types

Ok, so shoot me if I've missed the "Duh" factor on this one - but for
something simple, like moon-shots....could I just jam the lens of my little
point n shoot digital in the focuser tube, INSTEAD of an E.P.? Or am I
missing something really obvious?

Just wondering - and thought I'd ask before I tried a little unconventional
engineering to make it fit.
