Celestron's new NexStar Evolution Wedge turns their venerable single fork arm telescopes into portable astroimaging powerhouses.

The very popular NexStar SE and NexStar Evolution telescopes are great for astrophotography, however an EQ wedge is necessary to take longer exposures and use an autoguider.

Why Do I Need a Wedge for Imaging?

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.

Celestron's NexStar Evolution 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 the NexStar Evolution Wedge!

Suits the following model telescopes:

NexStar Evolution 6, NexStar Evolution 8 and NexStar Evolution 9.25*
NexStar 6SE and NexStar 8SE
Celestron Origin

* Note: The NexStar Evolution 9.25 is also compatible with the sturdier Celestron HD Pro Wedge.

Celestron's HD Pro Wedge is designed to support our fork mounted Schmidt Cassegrain Telescopes up to 11". The HD Pro Wedge provides a heavy duty, stable platform that is perfect for astroimaging and guarantees minimal vibration. A low latitude range of 0-90 degrees makes this wedge functional for use at the equator. Built-in features include altitude/azimuth adjustment controls with oversized knobs attached for easy polar alignment, a hand control holder that provides the option of placing on the wedge or the fork arm, a tilt plate for easier mounting of the telescope by simply rotating the scope onto the wedge, and a large 14 mm diameter latitude adjustment screw to add strength and stability while supplying less vibration and easier rotation with a heavy telescope.

HD Pro Wedge - General Features

14 mm Diameter Latitude Adjustment Screw - Adds strength and stability. Does not flex or bend providing less vibration and making it easier to rotate a heavy telescope.
0-90 Degree Latitude Range - Low latitude range, perfect for use at the equator.
Built-in Hand Control Holder - Allows user to place the hand control on the wedge or fork arm. Hand control won't fall off when fork arm is angled towards the ground.
Tilt Plate - Recesses to fit base of telescope and base of scope drops into place just by rotating. Mounting telescope on wedge becomes easier.
Heavy Duty Side Plates - More rigid with more material provides less vibration while imaging.

Sky-Watcher Equatorial Wedge for Fusion Mount

(0)

$475.00

Unit price

Convert your Sky-Watcher Fusion 120i mount or Sky-Watcher Fusion 120i and 150mm Maksutov to an equatorial platform for longer exposure astrophotography.

The Sky-Watcher Fusion 120i is a handy performer when it comes to tracking, but like all AZ (Alt-azimuth) mounts, while it can keep an object centred for imaging, the object will slowly rotate over time. This is called field rotation.

By using a wedge and aligning it to the south celestial pole, AZ mounts are effectively turned into EQ (equatorial) mounts that don't have problems with field rotation and allow for longer exposures.
