Not too sure where to put this confused

I'm after a telescope for looking at the moon and possibly other planets, the main thing is that I need to be able to link it up to my Nikon D90 DSLR to also take pictures of what I can see.

Budget probably around 300 pounds (less is good), and I want a tripod mounted one so that I can move it around a bit (also outside) without needing to stand it on a table.

Can any of you recommend anything please?

I'm currently looking at this but I have no idea if I can attach a camera to it?

or would I be better off getting something like this and just sticking the camera on it?

Maybe need a different lens? confused
