I've just gotten my first telescope and am trying to figure out what else I need for astrophotography. I have an Orion 8" and a Nikon d7000. The scope came with the camera adapter ring, but apparently I also need a t-ring for the specific DSLR.
Is this what I need? Isn't there a lens/eyepiece part I need as well, to focus the light?
What you'll need is a 1.25" T-adapter for your camera, with the right T-ring designed for the brand you have:
Example for Nikon: https://www.amazon.com/SVBONY-Compatible-Standard-Telescope-Microscope/dp/B00W123RBE/
Example for Canon: https://www.amazon.com/SVBONY-Standard-Telescope-Astrophotography-Accessories/dp/B0114884YA/
If you have a Sony or some other brand, you'll have to shop around.
Then you'll also want probably a 2x or even 3x barlow lens. This will increase your image scale to make the moon larger. Planets are tiny and you won't get much detail from them this way. If you want decent images of the planets, I recommend eventually getting a dedicated planetary camera like the ZWO ASI120MC or ZWO ASI224MC. Combine these with a 3x barlow and record high speed video of the planets, and then use free software like AutoStakkert to process the video and turn it into a still image. The results can be excellent.
Basically a T-ring, T adapter, and a Barlow will do the trick for getting nice shots of the Moon?
