Celestron Camera Piggy Back Mount

[DaveT]

Hi Everyone, hope i have put this in the correct section.

I have a C8 OTA, and was looking for a piggy back mount for my camera . After looking around the web, it appears that celestron do 2 types of mount. 1 that seems to be aimed at the nexstar range of scopes (around the £22 mark), and also one for the C8 SCT etc at substantially higher of about £52!!!. This is according to a few of the stores on line. Still a bit steep for what is just a shaped piece of plastic and a bolt and couple of screws.

However the celestron website contradicts the online shops, by saying that the cheap one fits the C8 / 9.25 etc. So with full confusion set in as to what to order i took a chance and ordered the cheap one ...... It fits perfect to the SCT.

Just incase anyone else is looking to order it, you dont need the expensive one for your sct, the cheap one fits perfect.

for an example of the two different types 365astronomy has them both on the website.
