John, check out http://www.telescope.com They sell adapters for 1.25" and 2" focusers that use t-mount adapters to attach a camera to a scope.
If you have a refractor reaching focus should not be a problem. A reflector might offer problems in that there may not be enough infocus travel to reach focus. That usually requires physically moving the mirror forward an inch or two. Another problem concerns the size of the secondary mirror in a newt. They usually are sized for eyepieces, not cameras. This will create problems with field illumination, ie, severe vignetting. Going up to a bigger secondary mirror means buying parts that can cost 50 bucks or more. What size. type scope do you have?
