Model: skyw_star_adv_eq_wedge_whitePart Number: 50207
An optional, high precision equatorial wedge for the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer.
Enables greater precision when polar aligning and setting the latitude which in turn will ensure better/longer tracking.
Provides more accuracy and stability than a standard photo tripod head.
Nice addon mount, makes any alt/az into eqBut beware the followingThe bolt holding the supplied dovetail onto the az goto needs to be changed to something shotrer, maybe even grub screw as it will foul the goto while trackingWhen using the goto do not set the inclination to your local value, it needs to be 90-your local value, you will not be able to polar align without doing this (mine needs to be set to 37 on the scale to align properly)Once the alignment is complete tighten everything and remove the 2 az bolts, these can also foul the trackingDont be suprised when you try and goto if the whole lot spins round, even tho you are only moving sideways a bit, this is to allow full tracking (if you have ever used a manual eq mount before you will understand being a contortionust is a goid thing )All in all a good productDont forget to buy the counterbalance weight and bar
It's good quality for little money
