Celestron Wedge for NexStar Evolution/SE, Black

The new wedge designed for NexStar Evolution and SE 6/8 mounts transforms our classic single fork arm telescopes into powerful tools for portable astroimaging. While both the NexStar SE and the recently introduced NexStar Evolution are excellent choices for astrophotography, achieving longer exposure images or utilizing an autoguider necessitates the use of an equatorial wedge. Although the Alt-Az tracking method keeps celestial objects centered, extended exposures can reveal rotation within the field of view. By incorporating a wedge, the mount can adopt an equatorial tracking mode, effectively eliminating any field rotation issues.

This wedge has been meticulously reengineered from the ground up, specifically crafted to match the size and aesthetic of the NexStar Evolution and SE. With minimal additional weight, it ensures that the entire setup remains lightweight and portable, yet it boasts a robust platform capable of supporting long exposure astrophotography.

Unlock the full potential of imaging with your NexStar Evolution or SE 6/8 mount by utilizing this innovative wedge. Designed for Celestron NexStar 6/8SE and Evolution Alt-Az mounted computerized telescopes, it facilitates long exposure astrophotography and autoguiding by tilting the telescope's azimuth into an equatorial configuration. This adjustment allows for tracking in an arc around the polar axis, making it ideal for both beginner and intermediate imagers focusing on planetary and deep space photography.

Boasting captive hardware for a tool-less operation, the wedge is easily adjustable even under load, enhancing usability during astrophotography sessions. Its robust yet portable design ensures ease of transport without compromising functionality. Notably, the sturdy latitude adjustment screw features an easy-to-read scale and an integrated bubble level, facilitating precise alignment.

With this new wedge, your NexStar telescope can reach its full imaging capabilities, allowing you to capture stunning astrophotos without the complications of field rotation. By opting for this specially designed accessory, you can elevate your astrophotography journey to new heights, harnessing the advantages of equatorial tracking to enhance your celestial captures. Whether you're aiming for beautiful night sky vistas or intricate details of planets and distant galaxies, this wedge is an essential addition to your astroimaging toolkit.

In summary, the redesigned wedge is not just an accessory; it’s a gateway to significantly improved astrophotography experiences with your NexStar Evolution and SE 6/8 mounts. Its intelligent design, ease of use, and lightweight portability combine to make it a must-have for anyone serious about capturing the wonders of the universe. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make the most of your telescope—embrace the innovation of the new wedge and transform your astrophotography endeavors today!
