He needs to buy a telescope adaptor and a Pentax K T2 mount. The T2 mount couples the universal telescope adaptor with the camera.

I presume that this will also work with spotting scopes?

As long as the scope has the same eyepiece diameter it should yes. I think they're a pretty common size.

He'll need something like this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-25-Variable-Universal-Camera-Adapter-Telescopes-/370...
with something like this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T2-T-2-mount-Lens-Pentax-PK-adapter-K-7-K20D-K200D-KM-...
That will allow him to connect the camera straight onto the scope, or drop an eyepiece into the tube for greater magnification ( but harder to focus! )

Looking at the Meade site, an adapter appears to be needed to provide a T-thread connection on the ETX-90. You can find a description of this adapter (Meade 64ST Adapter #07366 for photography with the Meade ETX-60, ETX-70 and ETX-80 models) here.
There after, a Pentax K-mount to T-thread adapter will be needed to couple to the Pentax camera body.
This will enable PRIME FOCUS imaging. For afocal projection using an eyepiece, different adapters will be needed.

Dave

I have a mate who wants to attach his Km (or is it Kx?) to a "Meade ETX-90" telescope, does anyone know if this is a readily available adaptor or will he have to get one made?
