Also picked up an iPhone to Binocular adapter to use with my spotting scope.
Works with iphone 4/4s/5, and I'm assuming 5s. Here are the links to the items:

The fit is a little loose on the eye piece but a thin layer of gorilla tape around the eyepiece made it perfectly snug. The focus works flawlessly and between the scope's focus and zoom, and the phone's focus and zoom, it makes for a great image.
I had this idea to help relieve the eye fatigue I get after spotting someone for a while - the eye relief on spotters under a few hundred bucks is generally not the best. It works great!
Over 10K? Fancy!
Cool contest!!

Hello :-)
They do sell cameras within your budget (e.g. this one), but of course you get what you pay for, but for a few planet snapshots it's usable. But then, so would be a smartphone with an adapter ([1]() 2 3) or compact camera adapter (1) or DSLR adapter [e.g. Canon 1 2].
A simple moon filter will work, a adjustable polarization filter being the deluxe variant.
Do you know what eyepieces he has?
What the stock XT8 lacks is a 2" wide angle overview eyepiece (1, 2, 3, 4)
Also missing in the xt8 kit is a ~6mm eyepiece for a bit more magnification for planets. You can get a good budget eyepiece for under $40 or a great ultra wide angle one for $150.
The Orion XT8 comes with eyepieces that have ~52° apparent field of view (see this graphic).
You can also get a solar filter if he' into that.
Or a right-angle correct-image finder to replace that small red-dot finder (1 2 3)...
Any idea what he observes the most? What things he already has?
