you wont be using the camera lens with the t adapter and nikon ring. This is to adapt the camera straight into the back of your scope and your scope becomes the lens. to use the camera lens for wide field photos you will need a piggy back mount..

I have the Celestron C6 and the Nikkon D5000 slr.  I use the t adaptor and the scope becomes the lens.  I have been taking multiple shots with different exposure times to see what looks better.  That is the benefit of having a digital camera.  You can take many shots without wasting film.  It will take you longer to calculate your f value, magnification, field of view, aperture, etc. then it would to just experiment with different exposure times.  You can see the pics right away in the back of the camera and don't have to wait for stuff to be developed.
