What’s the cheapest telescope with a camera mount? I want to put a Fujifilm camera on a telescope. Fujifilm cameras work with Nikon lenses. It’s an SLR obviously. I don’t have any specific needs. I want want something fun to play with so I want to spend as little as possible.

All of the major telescope makers supply adapters for 35mm cameras (including DSLR’s).
You will have to do a search and choose the telescope that suits your needs. Focal length, aperture, motorized mounts (or not).
There are Catadioptric, Reflectors and Refractors. Each design has its own strengths and weaknesses (whether optical quality, weight or cost)
