Have you ever wanted to take a picture of what you were viewing through your telescope? The Orion SteadyPix Deluxe Camera Mount lets you! It securely holds virtually any camera up to an eyepiece for afocal photography of celestial objects.

For some reason this mount is designed for cameras that have the mount-receiver on the righthand side. On my camera it's on the left meaning I effectively have no lateral adjustment unless I swivel the part of the mount it's attached to. Maybe that's what is intended but it seems silly to me...would be better for the mount to allow for lateral movement to either side rather than favoring one direction only. Otherwise, it's solidly built and a good buy BUT be aware of this design flaw not evident in photos of the product. This info is not in the included literature (would help if it was) and tech-support acted as though I was asking a dumb question (maybe it was, I'll admit, but to me it seemed "the fix" confirmed the idiocy of this design).
Pros: solidly built
Cons: poor design in terms of lateral mvmnt
Yes, I recommend this product!
