Adding a wedge allows the mount to track as an equatorial platform, thereby eliminating field rotation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Wedge was 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlock the full imaging potential from your NexStar Evolution or SE 6\/8 mount with this Wedge!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content js-accordion-content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with NexStar SE 6 \u0026amp; 8, NexStar Evolution 6, 8, and 8HD, and Celestron Origin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConverts your alt-az mount into an equatorial platform, eliminating field rotation for long-exposure astrophotography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnables longer exposures and more accurate tracking by aligning your telescope with the celestial pole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision latitude and azimuth adjustments provide accurate, repeatable polar alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTool-less setup with captive hardware allows quick, secure attachment and easy adjustments—even under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable, portable design with adjustable center of gravity to improve balance and reduce vibration during imaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"box-sizing: inherit; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; text-align: left; width: 1200px; color: #333e48; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\" id=\"product-specs-list\" class=\"table-open\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody style=\"box-sizing: inherit;\" id=\"spec-block-1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: inherit; border-bottom: 1px solid #e4e8ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 13px; font-size: 14px; height: 43px; width: 300px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eLoad Capacity:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 13px; font-size: 14px; height: 43px;\"\u003e36 lbs (16.33 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: inherit; border-bottom: 1px solid #e4e8ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 13px; font-size: 14px; height: 43px; width: 300px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 13px; font-size: 14px; height: 43px;\"\u003e15 lbs (6.80 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: inherit; border-bottom: 1px solid #e4e8ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 13px; font-size: 14px; height: 43px; width: 300px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMount Compatibility:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 13px; font-size: 14px; height: 43px;\"\u003eNexStar Evolution 6\/8\/9.25 | NexStar SE 6\/8 | Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: inherit; border-bottom: 1px solid #e4e8ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 13px; font-size: 14px; height: 43px; width: 300px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eLatitude Range:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 13px; font-size: 14px; height: 43px;\"\u003e0° - 70°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"box-sizing: inherit; border-bottom: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 13px; font-size: 14px; height: 43px; width: 300px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eIncluded Items:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"box-sizing: inherit; padding: 13px; font-size: 14px; height: 43px;\"\u003eWedge | 5 hex keys for assembly | Instruction manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelestron Wedge For Nexstar Evolution, SE 6\/8 and Origin\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67595073093861,"sku":"CEL-93665-DUE","price":399.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/20260930_115203.jpg?v=1790797574","url":"https:\/\/astronomyplus.com\/products\/celestron-equatorial-wedge-used-93665-u","provider":"Astronomy Plus – Telescopes \u0026 Astrophotography Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
