Careful!
It is not a standard SCT thread on the back of the SE4.
I have all of the attachments you mention (except that my adapter was for a Pentax).

I will check.

The T Adapter I have is a genuine Celestron Part #93635. Andrew have it

(But I think I got mine from eBay).
Just checked and its $77 on eBay.

BTW Welcome Bejay to IceInSpace

And you don't need a visual back (for the above) as the 93635-A screws directly onto the rear thread of the 4SE (I just tested it).

If you want to use the rear for visual as well ( as indicated by you mentioning the star diagonal), then YES you will. Again I got the Celestron one for this model.
But this is extremely optional, as the 4SE has a built in flip mirror and second viewing outlet on top. Having said that, I did exactly the same.

Just a Point (I didn't know when I started). With the camera mounted on the rear of the 4SE you may not be able to move the OTA through the full range of motion. This may be a problem for you.
