If you have an interesting in astronomy and astrophotography, this video shows how I attach a Nikon D5300 DSLR camera to my telescope. for Astrophotography for prime focus (or with an eyepiece included). Below are the parts I used:

1. Nikon D5300 DSLR Camera

2. Deluxe Telescope Camera Adapter Kit for Nikon SLR / DSLR (includes: Variable Eyepiece Projection adapter, Prime Focus adapter, T-Ring, and a a Parfocalizing ring)

3. Celestron T-adapter for Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.

Extra: One thing I forgot to mention is eyepiece projection. The eyepiece I pulled out of the telescope can also be inserted into the extension tube show in the video if you need more magnification.
