 | Great product, faulty product description
rating: 5
T-adapters can turn your telescope into an amazing telephoto lens and this one will work with any that have a 1.25" visual back. This piece has a 1.25" inserting slip connector which replaces the Star Diagonal on your telescope and the title given by Celestron is entirely misleading, it refers to a generic measurement of an inch (actually 1.25"). The faulty description continues in the product description: it WILL NOT FIT .96" visual backed telescopes such as the Celestron C90, or the Nexstar 4GT. In that case you'll need this part Celestron 93635-A T-Adapter for NexStar 4GT Those telescopes have a .96" visual back and the T-adapter has a female ring which screws over the visual back.
In either case you still need a T-Ring to connect to your camera, be careful there too as there are now ones for 58mm digital cameras that are larger than the older 35mm.
Getting Amazon to change these descriptions is difficult so hopefully this review can correct it.

Universal T-Adapter
rating: 3
I bought this for use with my Celestron 130 SLT telescope, but did not consider that my camara is a Kodak P-850 Digital SLR, which requires a 52mm barrel adapter, as well as a 52mm T-adapter!
My own fault, due to my ignorance.
But, I have ordered the required adapters and will post back later, after I get a chance to try everything out. Product is solid, and as described.

Works with telescope adjustment
rating: 5
This product screws into the T-ring and hooks to my Canon Rebel-XTI as expected. The product attaches to my telescope as expected. Unforunately, I could not focus as is. The telescope required adjusting the mirror position to perfect the focus. So I learned something. Connected to a Tasco Luminova telescope.
