Absolutely it can hold an 8" Celestron SCT. I currently am using this mount to use my Meade 10" SCT without problems - I did have to add an additional 17# counter weight to the 10# weight that came with the mount. Just note, you may have to order and add an additional counter weight for an 8" SCT, I would go at least with an additional 10# weight for this telescope (total or 20#s). If you are piggy-backing a tracking camera and an SLR camera, you may need more weight, but don't buy more until you try it. But at least for the 8" Nexstar, add another 10" weight at least. I also believe the dovetail bar on the Nexstar 8SE will fit the mount without problem. My 6SE does. Absolutely it can hold an 8" Celestron SCT.

I have the nexstar 8SE and upgraded to the advanced vx mount for longer exposures. This mount has exceeded my expectations and it handles the 8" SCT tube, guide scope, and dslr with ease.

Definitely. It's much heavier and beefier than the Nexstar mount. It's also much bigger and heavier. It's a bigger pita to carry around.

I bought mine for the Nextstar 8se and it's a perfect fit for that. I looked at the specs for your scope and they show 28" long. The inside of this case is 26" so I would say it would not fit. Celestron says there is no case for it, but you might start here: http://www.amazon.com/Zhumell-MED-CASE-Medium-Telescope-Case/dp/B004DDLTAK Even though that item isn't available scroll through the also viewed section, you might find something. You might also look at http://www.astronomyforum.net/telescope-forum/153228-case-celestron-nexstar-130slt.html You could also think about a wheeled trunk

It should be fine. You may need an additional counter weight. I have friends who have use with an 11in Celestron sct I have used it with a 9.25 Celestron which 25 lbs with no problems.

I'm sure it works with Nikon D810 on one side. I don't know about the Celestron on the other end.

Yes, the Nexstar 4SE is compatible with any 1.25" eyepiece including this, but it will not fit 2" eyepieces.

The Celestron has the standard mounting hardware. So any tripod will do. Having said that the SkyMasters are heavy and do need a tripod with this in mine. I have mine on my camera tripod it works "ok" I want a much better tripod to be able to hold the SkyMasters in place with out drift. They the SkyMaster are just to heavy for the tripod I'm using now. Spend the money now you won't be sorry you did. Unable to pick a tripod now as i haven't found the one I like yet for the money.

After reading the specs on this website, it appears that you will be able to use the 2 inch eyepieces with this scope. This kit comes with the 2 inch diagonal. If this can attach to your scope, it should work just fine. I do not have your model, but I do feel a little jealous. :) Best wishes. http://www.telescopes.com/telescopes/catadioptric-telescopes/celestron8inchcpctelescopetubeandmountwithtripod.cfm

Hi there! I used the Orion Dovetail L bracket to fix my PST atop my NexStar 4SE mount. Here is the product URL:Orion 5052 Dovetail L-Bracket for VersaGo Telescope Mount

I'd suggest you just call Celestron and ask them. They're friendly and helpful, and then you'd know for sure.

The Celstron site - http://www.celestron.com/portal/skyq-link.html - lists the compatible mounts for this unit. It is not so much the telescope, but the mount used for it.

Mine works well with the Orion 15x70, so yours should be fine in terms of size. However I am not familiar with where the screw fits on the Celestron. Advise you to compare the two binoculars. You can always return it if it doesn't work.

From what I can tell, it does not appear to be compatible. The 1.25 inch kit by Celestron that contains the smaller cousins of these will surely work. This is a high quality set.

I use mine with my Celestron CG4 mount. I recommend contacting the company which supplies the Twin Star 6 and ask them. The good supplier companies are usually very helpful on a question like yours in my experience. Good luck. The unit works well on my CG4. Regards, John L.

yes it should, its universal to celestron telescopes..Im looking at mine now, and it seems to be universal, did you get your t-ring...the t-ring will allow the camera to be attached. I know I forgot the t-ring when I got my adaptor..My telescope is the C8, so it should work.. let me know, but get the t-ring, it goes by camera model.. Like mine is a Cannon, so I had to get a Cannon t-ring that attaches to the adapter...it also only works if your able to remove your leses from your camera, there is another mount that you can use if your using a point and shoot camera.. most sincerely,Lizzy

is this work with the Celestron NexStar 6SE? and would it gives better results than #93633-A (Celestron T-adapter for all Schmidt-Cassegrains)??

It should work. I put it on a Celestron 127EQ with minimal mounting space. It appears by photos I have seen of your model telescope that it should mount without a problem. You might want to consider buying a 4" Riser.

It should and the kit is listed as an accessory you may want to purchase: http://www.highpointscientific.com/celestron-nexstar-130-slt-computerized-telescope-31145?utm_source=google&utm;_medium=cse&utm_term=CEL-31145&gclid;=CKj5ve7Rz8ECFQcSMwodfG4A3Q
