Celestron Equatorial Wedge for NexStar Evolution and SE 6/8

Celestron Equatorial Wedge for NexStar Evolution and SE 6/8

DESCRIPTION

Specially engineered by Celestron for NexStar Evolution and SE 6/8 mounts, this equatorial wedge converts the alt-azimuth system into a true equatorial platform. By tilting the azimuth axis toward the celestial pole, it allows accurate tracking without field rotation—ideal for long-exposure imaging.

The sturdy latitude adjustment screw is equipped with a clear scale and integrated bubble level for straightforward polar alignment. Despite its solid construction, the wedge remains lightweight enough for easy transport and setup in the field.

Designed for tool-less adjustment even under load, with all hardware captive, this wedge is optimized for convenience and reliability. It unlocks the full astroimaging potential of your Celestron mount, supporting both planetary and deep-sky imaging with autoguiding capability.

A must-have upgrade for any serious astrophotographer using a compatible Celestron mount.
