I have a Meade ETX-80 telescope and a Nikon D5100 camera. I would like to know which adapters I need to mount my camera to it? Please include model number, or link. I'm looking to buy from store.meade.com

Hmm, … You'd need a t-mount adapter with a Nikon D5100 adapter ring. Now, whether the mount can hold the weight of the camera is another issue. You should be able to find the mount you need at www.telescopes.com or www.telescope.com (yes, they're different sides and I've shopped at both).
