How to attach Nikon DSLR to ED80 and LX200?

I currently have a Nikon DSLR, and have a T-Ring adaptor that I was using with my old C8 attached via the Celestron Tele Extender deluxe (This thing http://www.celestron.com/c3/product.php?ProdID=367)

I would like to use the DSLR with the ED80 scope, as well as with the 10" LX200 ACF.
Can anyone tell me where I can purchase the necessary bits in Australia, and any traps? I don't want to buy the wrong pieces, or upgrade those pieces to 'better ones' later, I'd prefer to buy the good bits first go, and keep them forever.

Any help appreciated.

Next bit is to work out how to mount the ED80 onto the back of the LX200

Give Andrews communications a call. They have all sorts of low cost fittings that they will be able to help you with. I use them all the time, and they will post out to you express mail
