Celestron Heavy Duty Wedge for 8" and 11" Telescopes (NexStar GPS and U2000) - 93655

Celestron Heavy Duty Wedge for 8" and 11" Telescopes (NexStar GPS and U2000) - 93655 is essential for long exposure astrophotography. Celestron Equatorial Wedge allows you to tilt your Celestron Telescope so that its polar axis (R.A. axis) is parallel to the earth's axis.

The angle of tilt will depend on your latitude when the Telescope is level. The angle between the horizon level and the polar axis will equal your latitude when the Telescope 's axis is parallel with that of the Earth's. Once properly mounted and adjusted on Celestron Wedge 93655, Celestron Telescope is equatorially mounted and it can now track objects as they move across the sky.

For all Celestron Nexstar GPS Telescopes (and Ultima 2000) , Celestron Heavy-Duty Wedge 93655 is available for the more serious observer. It increases the rigidity of your Celestron Telescope while giving a 0° to 90° range of operation. Celestron Wedge Upgrade Kit 93662 with a deluxe latitude adjuster and azimuth controls for easy polar alignment is available.
