I posted this earlier and forgot to include a link to the camera. Sorry about that.
I am looking to buy a camera for Astrophotography, but I want to make sure I can find a T-Ring adapter to mount it to a telescope..........
This is the camera.........http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830134044

I see the lens on the camera has to come off?

The telescope is a 8" Celestron Nexstar. 1.25" eyepiece

I couldn't see what camera you're thinking about because the Newegg site is down. Scopetronix ( http://www.scopetronix.com/ )is a good source for camera-to-telescope adapters of many types, and they have a "wizard" that will show you what they recommend for a particular camera. I should add that they have adapters for many types of digital snapshot cameras too.
For more ideas and information, you might try the Yahoo digital astro group ( http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/digital_astro ) or the forums at Cloudy Nights ( http://www.cloudynights.com/ ).

Good question the only problem is the type and make of telescope, What is it? Most manufactures of telescopes have T-ring adapters for cameras. After the scope is purchased then search for the adapters. Hope this will help.

The camera you are thinking of buying is not an SLR, meaning you can not remove the lens to attach a t-ring to mount to a telescope.
