Celestron Universal Piggyback Mount for NexStar 5, 6, 8

Astrophotography becomes more flexible with the Celestron Universal Piggyback Mount, a telescope accessory made for attaching a DSLR camera and lens to a Celestron SCT Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube assembly. Fitted to the top rear of the telescope, it makes use of the telescope’s dual-axis motor drive so the camera can track with the mount rather than relying on a separate photographic tripod.

This simple but useful bracket suits owners of compatible Celestron SCT optical tubes who want to work with their own camera lenses for wide-angle night-sky photography. It also opens up scope for terrestrial and celestial compositions using a DSLR and lens combination already in your kit. Installation is stated as quick, with attachment completed in minutes.
