    It really is a quite simple object. It simply bridges the gap between your scope and imager. However, if you plan on using a large-chipped DSLR or CCD camera, it is needed to get the full image. A very good product that I could not live without.

    This item is made with heavy-duty metal enough to hold a heavy camera in place. This T-adapter is only 2" in length. Vibration is minimized because it is very short as compared to other T-adapters that extend at 4-5 inches from the back of the telescope. The further your camera extends from the back of telescope, the more sensitive it gets to vibration.

    This T-adapter is only good for prime focus astrophotography. It only magnifies the object at a fixed 50x. Big celestial objects such as the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn are good at 50x but the magnification may not reveal much details. If you want to increase the magnification to capture pictures of deep sky objects such as nebulae, galaxies and star clusters, then you would need a T-adapter that can be attached to an eyepiece.

    Consider buying a multipurpose T-adapter that can work in prime focus mode (without an eyepiece) and in projection mode using an attached eyepiece.

        Comments about Celestron T-Adapter for Schmidt Cassegrains Telescopes:

        This adapter does the job. I bought it to connect to my Canon digital SLR. It worked with my old Vivitar Canon-ring just fine. Was very happy with it. Would not buy the Celestron ring for my camera though because that ring would fall off the camera. However, this adapter works great to connect to my old canon-ring.

            This t adapter is great, it is all metal and sturdy, allows you to connect a DSLR camera to a celestron SCT telescope with no problem very secure as it screws on directlly to the telescopes visual back.
