Celestron HD Pro Wedge
In the 1960s, Celestron’s founder, Tom Johnson, created groundbreaking new telescopes never before seen on the consumer market. Today, Celestron's world-class team of optical and electronic engineers continues to push the boundaries of technology. With new innovative products, Celestron has shown they are still going strong in the field of astroimaging and astronomy products.
Designed for Perfection
Celestron's HD Pro Wedge is designed to support Celestron's 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° makes this wedge functional for use at the equator.
Construction
Built-in features include altitude/azimuth adjustment controls with oversized knobs attached for easy polar alignment and a hand control holder that provides the option of placing on the wedge or the fork arm. The hand control is fashioned in a way that it won't fall off when the fork arm is angled towards the ground.
Features
The HD Pro Wedge has a tilt plate which recesses to fit the base of the telescope. The base of the scope drops into place by simply rotating the scope onto the wedge. A large 14 mm diameter latitude adjustment screw add strength and stability while supplying less vibration and easier rotation with a heavy telescope as it does not flex or bend. The heavy duty side plates are rigid with more material providing less vibration while imaging.
