The reason you didn't get a response is because 0.01% of astrophotographers use Nikon cameras.
Posting multiple threads isn't going to help.
Omaroo offered his assistance as he has Nikon gear. What more do you want?
You'll need a 2" T-mount and a 2" Nikon T-ring. The T-ring attaches to the camera as if it were a lens, and, goes on one end of the T-mount. The other end of the T-mount should screw into the visual back of the telescope.
You will need a camera control cable and a USB cable to download images to a laptop/computer. I have no idea what software works with Nikon cameras. Maybe Nebulosity does, by Stark Labs.
You can forget about taking planetary images with the DSLR, unless you want to capture a small blob with no detail in the middle of your image. You need to use a dedicated web cam-type camera or one of the dedicated planetary imaging systems like the Image Source DBK/DMK series of cameras for best results.
