Product Description:
Celestron's Piggyback Mount is a great accessory for all observers interested in deep-sky astrophotography, particularly beginners. This mount allows you to attach your camera, with its lens, to either the top or side of the telescope, making it possible to shoot with a normal or wide angle lens while guiding through the telescope. Model #93598 fits the C8, C9¼", C11 and C14 telescopes and mounts to the rear cell of the telescope.

Content: One thing i could say about this mount is that its very solid. Made from cast iron. Two sets screws came with the unit, one shorter for the smaller scopes and the longer for the larger scopes. The installation is a snap since all i had to do was to remove two screws that goes around the outside by the rear of the tube and attach the mount with the supplied screws. A word of caution is to make sure you're using the right length screws. One problem i had was that when I tightened the thumbscrew onto my Canon Digital Rebel, the camera body was still on the loose side on the mount. I put down a layer of rubber sheet on the surface of the mount so that the camera was tight and snug onto the mount. Oh by the way.. the rubber sheet also protects the buttom of the camera since the mount surface is pretty coarse. Overall its a good compact mount with the right price that gives me the tracking ability of the scope for my camera to get wide angle sky shots.
