This AT dovetail adapter was suggested to me when asked about piggyback mounting a new AT scope. The scope gets 5 stars, but these adapters fall short. They don't have a guide pin to keep the moveable side aligned and the small secondary locking rings are awkward to use. For a few dollars more ADM, Losmandy, and others are better made and easier to use.
However, the AT brand does work and because the scope won't me moved much, the difference in ease of use was not enough to cause me to return them. An OK buy if your budget is tight, (Posted on 1/19/2024)

It works I guess, but its a bit unwieldly manner in which to tighten. The two plate are not spring loaded, and one side of the plate can spin freely 360-deg or more. So, its a little slower in attaching to your OTA losmandy style rail. But, it should work for the purposes I intended and I got it for a substantial discount. (Posted on 8/11/2022)

I have recently been trying some piggybacking on my primary APO, with my DSLR because I don't have a separate star tracker. I was able to fashion this into a very versatile tool by screwing on my Shoe adapter from an old Tripod, and leaving the tripod adapter permanently attached to my camera body (DSLR). Now I can quickly pop my DSLR on and off my top plate, for Piggybacking, and don't have to fidget with small screws or thumbscrews in the dark. Win Win,. (Posted on 10/4/2019)
