Search the net for something like;
“telescope camera adapter”
Loads of different products come up

I think that what you would need is called a T-mount and you would need to get one in the Olympus mount.

You need to find out if your scope supports the use of T-mounts, their website should have that info. Not all telescopes are camera friendly, unless you have the skills to manufacture your own mount.
If it turns out you can do this with your scope, get a T-mount for your Oly. Shouldn’t cost more than $20, and away you go.
