Can I do eyepiece projection astrophotography on an dobsonian telescope?

I have an Orion XT8 and was wanting to do a little photography. I have a Nikon 5100 DSLR. I know the dobsonians are not meant for this but I have seem many people have success with non deep space objects. I have also heard that the dobsonian telescope may not accommodate the eyepiece projection method. I was thinking about getting this.http://www.telescope.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=101417.Do you think that would work or should I be safe and stick to the afocal method by getting this.http://www.telescope.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=5338
