Celestron Piggyback All SCT

Piggyback Bracket for Celestron SCT Telescopes

A piggyback bracket is a straightforward astronomical accessory designed to enable stunning night sky photography. It allows attachment of a DSLR camera and lens directly to any Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope (SCT) optical tube assembly.

Key Features

• Utilizes the dual-axis motor drive of the telescope for precise tracking.
• Enables longer exposure times without star trails, capturing fine celestial details.
• Compatible with various DSLR cameras and lenses.

Applications

By mounting your camera piggyback style on the SCT, you can experiment with different lenses and subjects. This setup is ideal for capturing comets with relatively long, fast lenses, the Milky Way, and a wide range of terrestrial and celestial scenes.

The piggyback mount leverages the telescope's motorized tracking, allowing your camera to take beautiful wide-angle images of the sky that would be difficult or impossible with a photographic tripod or a non-driven telescope.
