Camera Adapter
I have a Meade LXD-75 SN10 and a Canon EOS Rebel T3. Can anyone suggest a T-adapter for use?

Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.
Re: Camera Adapter
You need a T-Adaptor to fit into your eyepiece holder (probably 1.25") and a standard Canon T-ring, which will screw into the T-adaptor on one end, and attach to your camera at the other, like attaching a lens. Both of these are easily available online or at any telescope shop.

Re: Camera Adapter
Ah, a 2" T-adaptor is probably a little harder to find, but not that hard. In any event, they should all fit a standard Canon T-ring, as should all Canon cameras with removable lenses, in theory.
I only posted this because when I first tried to attach my DSLR to my telescope, I had no idea what a T-ring or T-adaptor was, or that they were different things entirely, and you need both.
