About this product

Model: cel_wedge_93665
Part Number: 93665

Re-engineered from the ground-up, this new wedge is specifically designed for the Celestron Evolution and Celestron SE series telescopes with 6" and 8" apertures.

The Evolution and SE mounts use Alt-Az tracking to keep objects centred. This is okay for short exposures but longer exposures will reveal field rotation. Using a wedge enables the mount to track equatorially which does not create field rotation.

Weight is kept to a minimum without sacrificing the rigidity necessary for long exposure astrophotos.

When using a wedge, you can also introduce an autoguider to enable even longer exposures and minimise tracking errors.
