John,

Takahashi has a camera adapter that ties the focus
tube to the T-ring (this is called the CA35
Adapter)that is connected to your camera. It's
basically a reducing fitting, reducing down the 2.7"
focus tube to the camera T-ring diameter. Takahashi
makes wider T-rings for your camera model to reduce
vignetting so you'll have to get one of these also.
Keep your eyes peeled on Astromart cause the CA35
comes up once in awhile. Also there is a focal length
reducer that turns the scope into an f/6.3 scope
instead of an f/8.
