I have been looking at trying some different types of photography with my Olympus OM-D E-M10. My daughter had a beginner telescope that was gifted to her a couple of years ago that she was no longer using. Having never tried to mount my camera to a telescope I began investigating what I would need and this mount and adapter seemed to be the missing part.The mount connected to my camera easily. It's not complicated at all and worked the first time. I was also impressed with how easy it was to adjust the other end for alignment by using the three small set screws with the included hex wrench. The telescope adapter connected fine to the camera mount, but this telescope apparently does not use a standard T2 male threads mate.I feel like I need an eyepiece adapter as the 1.25" telescope adapter just butts up to all of the interfaces on the telescope. However, it does seem to do what the listing said and the threads all match my expectations. The only part I did not care for was when removing the mount from the camera. I don't really change my lenses too often any more now that I have my favorite. There are no indications on the mount to show the red alignment dot for putting it on or taking it off. There is one on the mount, but it's on the underside where it's in contact with the camera instead of on the outer edge like all of my actual lens configurations.

Ended up not being able to use this with my telescope without purchasing an adapter specific to the scope. That plus the fact that my scope is pretty small has kept me from using this adapter in the field, but it mounts cleanly to my Olympus Micro 4/3 bodies and is very solid. All aluminum construction is great. I have no concerns about it not functioning when I upgrade my scope to one that can take the t-mount directly.
