A warning...

Be aware.. the 64ST T-Adapter is for the Meade ETX70 ONLY. If you need one for any of the other models, you want the Meade #64 T Adapter.
Meade 64ST T Adapter

The Meade 64ST Adapter must be accopanied with a T Mount for your brand of camera. This piece completed the set for my telescope-to-camera perfectly!

Just a little research into how this works shows that this is a two-piece system. First, something to attach to your particular model of telescope and then something to attach that piece to your particular brand of camera. Such low ratings based upon not understanding this are unjustified.
Update: I've used this (along with the appropriate adapter) with my Canon 300D and a Meade ATX70 telescope. While it's difficult to focus (sensitive controls), it produced excellent pictures. For the amount of money the adapter costs, it opens up a lot of possibilities for photography.
What you need to take pictures with your 35mm SLR camera...

I know I was really confused on what I would need to do this. But I figured it out so I thought that I would let you all know! First of all you need to get the correct T-ADAPTER for your telescope (For the ETX-60AT & 70AT the #64ST, for the ETX-90 and higher you need the #64) That is part that actually atteches to the telescope. Then you need a T-RING that fits your specific 35mm SLR removeable-lens camera. You should be able to get a T-RING at any camera reseller store, for around [..].
The only other thing that Meade suggests is using a cable-operated shutter release cord. You should be able to get this on Amazon, through your camera manufacuar or an autorized camera reseller. I have not yet recieved my #64ST adapatr and T-Ring, I will write a review after i try them out!
Wait before you buy

You need two adapters for this to work on your Camera and your telescope. This is the adapter that fits the telescope. You need another one for you camera for it to work.
