You may be out of luck. Alot of point and shoot cameras simply do not have the proper lens thread setup to adapt. If you can thread a filter on the camera, then you can adapt it to the scope. I use a standard T to C adapter to mount my Coolpix to the prime focus of my ETX. If you really want to do some astrophotography, you might need to consider a different camera.

I was looking for the same thing a while back and they seem to be able to adapt anything to a telescope or microscope.
