No, because there is no such thing.

What you *can* get, however, is an adapter from the
telescope focuser to a t thread, then a t thread
adapter to fit your camera. Both are standard items,
well documented in all the usual references.

I like TA2P a lot. Not too long, not too short, and a Televue style
notch. Free shipping. The TA2P is from Antares.

Check out

for the T-ring. The Meade T-rings are a bit better than some of the
really cheap t-ring out there.

You really should explain what you are trying to do. For instance, you
will probably need a focuser tube extender to get to prime focus. I'm
not familiar with the D100, but most digital cameras have small CCDs,
so you may get away with a cheap T extension. That would be TATE on the
scopestuff.com webpage. If you ever want to shoot 35mm in addition to
digital, you are better off getting a proper extension for your
telescope. An alternative would be to go with M57 tubes, an adapter to
mate the threads of your scope, then a wide T-ring.

M57 to 2 inch male (which fits your 2 inch visual back on the scope):

Something like the Tak angle adjuster:
