Well you'll definitely need a T-Ring. This is how the camera is attached to all these adapters and accessories.
For planetary shots you'll need a Eyepiece projection unit, you can also use an 1-1/4 T-Adapter in conjunction with barlows.
For all other DSO's you'll need a SCT T-Adapter to shoot prime focus. I would also suggest for DSO's getting a F6.3 focal reducer and a off-axis guider of some sort (guiding is critical at that focal length).

Hope this helps,
