Description

The Celestron Equatorial Wedge for SE6/8 turns Celestron's venerable single fork arm telescopes into portable astro-imaging powerhouses.

the popular NexStar SE and 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 as an equatorial platform, thereby eliminating field rotation.

This Wedge was specifically tailored to the NexStar Evolution and SEs 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 Wedge!
