Attaching SLR to viewing Scope - advice please

[Madelinew]

I have a Nikon Spotting Scope 25Xw with an eyepiece Raii/33Xw 80 scope (if that makes sense - I'm randomly taking numbers off the scope in the hope they mean something ). My OH has a Digital Nikon SLR D50 and I wondered if there was a decent adaptor I could buy to link the 2 together. Plus I've had problems in the past with the fact that the SLR has an autofocus that gets a bit temperamental when using bigger lenses as it doesn't know what to focus on. Can this be turned off at all?

In additon to this I also have a hulking great SkyWatcher reflecting scope and wondered if the camera could be set up to attach to this too.

Thanks in advance to those who know from one who hasn't the foggiest what she's talking about

Fairly sure you can attach the two. A quick Google came up with this

but there will be loads more.

The D50 manual says autofocus can be turned off.

There's a very interesting attachment in the thign you sent me but a search on anything resembling it shows a price in the ouch range. It might be easier and cheaper for me to buy a Nikon Coolpix and attachment but would have liked to try it with the SLR
