Description

The new Wedge for NexStar Evolution and SE 6/8 mounts turns our venerable single fork arm telescopes into portable astroimaging powerhouses. Our popular NexStar SE and our new NexStar Evolution telescopes are great for astrophotography, however an EQ wedge is necessary to take longer exposure images, or to advance further and use an autoguider. Alt-Az tracking keeps objects centered, but a long enough exposure will reveal they rotate in the field of view. Adding a wedge allows the mount to track equatorially, thereby eliminating field rotation. This Wedge was reengineered from the ground-up, specifically tailored to the NexStar Evolution and SE’s size and styling. Weight is minimal to keep the whole setup light and portable, yet the platform is sturdy to support taking long exposure astrophotos. Unlock the full imaging potential from your NexStar Evolution or SE 6/8 mount with this new Wedge!

    • Turns your Alt-Az Celestron Mount into an EQ mount. Built like a tank!
Style: Wedge
This looks and feels like a solid piece of engineering. Strong and precise build. I used it to convert my 8 inch Celestron SCT from Alt-Az to EQ. Does the job perfectly. Instructions for mounting are easy to follow. This was a great purchase.

    • Excellent wedge for nexstar 6se/8se or Evolution series telescopes

This is an excellent, heavily built wedge! I purchased it for my Celestron nexstar 6se and was very impressed with its solid construction and nice design. I have a wedge for my 12" Meade lx200 classic that is just a collection of metal slabs bolted together which Meade thought was high design in its day, this one however actually has some nice touches to it when contrasted with my old lx wedge. The anodized parts add a nice touch of color and the hooks for hanging the hand controller are thoughtful but maybe placed a little far back on the wedge. There are cutouts to reduce weight but they add a nice touch of design. The azimuth adjustment controls are awesome for when you need to dial in a fine adjustment while polar aligning. I'm excited to start using this and look forward to many nights of astrophotography using the excellent 6se and it's amazing optics. ... show more

    • Great piece of aluminum alloy!

I save a few $ by buying an open box item. Amazing improvement over no-wedge days for sure. I think this is a nice step forward in my astro imaging adventure before getting a dedicated EQ mount eventually (I can't expect too much from a single fork Evolution mount in long term). It makes 8-15" unguided exposures almost streak free. 30" not so much. Need to try with more ref points than one next time I am out :) Also its extra added weight absorbs vibrations nicely and makes whole setup more stable. Pro tip: you will need an illuminated cross hair eyepiece for your polar alignments! ... show more

    • Well built and packaged.
Style: Wedge
It's a telescope mount wedge. Well built great finish Easy adjustments with teflon spacers under the flat washers on adjustment bolts. One minor problem: The latitude scale was mounted upside down. Easy fix with a #2 Phillips screw driver. Overall a good product.

    • Good, with a VERY significant flaw
Style: Wedge
I like the wedge. It's very solidly built and will hold the scope and a lot of weight. It's not made clear in any of the descriptions I've seen but it does have an azimuth adjustment which seems to work very well. There is one VERY SIGNIFICANT "BUT" here that has to be mentioned. The bolts that hold the mounting fork are about 3/16ths of an inch too long. The bolts stick through the base of the mounting fork so far that they won't allow the fork to pivot past them because the gear that rotates the base strikes them. I fixed mine by grinding the extra length off with a Dremel and a file but it could also have worked with a couple of large sized washers. It's an easy enough fix but I'd have thought the engineers at Celestron should have caught it. ... show more

Style: Wedge
Makes tracking simple, setting long and lat a little challenging but overall, no gripes. Great product for EQ North(in my case) aligning.

I thought it was just plastic, but it is ALL metal. Heavy-duty solid mount. To turn my $2000 Celestron 8SE into a REAL astrophotos rig is awesome!
