Used Celestron Heavy-Duty Wedge, for NexStar Evolution/SE scopes

This is a heavy-duty Celestron wedge that is in very good condition.  It is perfectly functional, but does have a number of scratches to the paint all over from normal use and wear and tear.  See the photos.  We have taken these condition issues into consideration with the pricing.  The result is that this is a bargain at almost HALF-OFF the new price.  

We do not have the packing boxes for this, so this is for in-store pickup only.     

• Equatorial wedge for Celestron NexStar 6/8SE and Evolution Alt-Az mounted computerized telescopes
• Enables long exposure astrophotography and autoguiding by tilting the telescope’s azimuth into an equatorial platform allowing it to track an arc around the polar axis.
• For beginner to intermediate deep space imagers
• Captive hardware, tool-less operation, easily adjusts under load
• All new hefty yet portable design
• Sturdy latitude adjustment screw with easy to read scale and integrated Bubble level

The new Wedge for NexStar Evolution and SE 6/8 mounts turns our venerable single fork arm telescopes into portable astroimaging powerhouses.

Our popular NexStar SE and our new NexStar Evolution telescopes are great for astrophotography, however an EQ wedge is necessary to take longer exposure images, or to advance further and use an autoguider.

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.

This 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 this new Wedge!
