Comments about Celestron Celestron Piggyback Mount for 8", 9-1/4", 11" & 14" Schmidt-Cassegrains.:

Mount is used for piggyback astrophotography. Mount is for an ancient Celestron C-8 SCT. Was unsure that this mount would fit my telescope but it attached perfectly with absolutely no play along the base. It would have been better had rubber padding been placed on top of the camera bar. But this is only a minor issue that will be easily corrected.

Comments about Celestron Celestron Piggyback Mount for 8", 9-1/4", 11" & 14" Schmidt-Cassegrains.:

Product is used to "piggyback" a caomera onto a Celestron SCT telescope. Fits perfectly. I use primarily for astrophotography, but can also create a "super" lens for terrestial photography.

Comments about Celestron Celestron Piggyback Mount for 8", 9-1/4", 11" & 14" Schmidt-Cassegrains.:

Purchased item to mount both digital camera and 80mm refractor. Strong construction and easy mounting a plus, only improvement I see would be to add a piece of rubber to the surface between piggyback and equipment to be mounted to reduce slipping during use.I highly recommend as an affordable solution for mounting accessories to main telescope.
