Celestron Piggyback All SCT Camera Mount

Celestron Piggyback All SCT Camera Mount

With the piggyback mount, a DSLR camera and lens can be fitted onto any Celestron SCT telescope. The telescope’s two-axis motorised tracking system rotates the camera in line with the movement of the sky, allowing you to capture wide-angle images of the night sky with long exposure times without star trails.

From comets to the Milky Way

By changing the lens, you can experiment with different subjects. With a long, fast lens, you can capture details of comets, for example, whilst a wide-angle lens allows you to capture the Milky Way as well as combinations of landscape and sky. These subjects cannot be captured with the same level of detail using a standard camera tripod or a telescope without tracking.
