This is a mini-EQ wedge for the seestar.
Includes everything you need to adapt your Seestar S50 to use Equatorial mode. A latitude adjustment base and vixen to 3/8" adapter plate for using the SeeStar S50 in Equatorial Mode.
IMPORTANT: You must extend the SeeStar S50 tripod legs completely to ensure the S50 does not topple over. Using the wedge shifts the center of gravity away from the middle of the tripod, and requires the legs be fully extended to maintain balance. Even with the legs extended, Seestar S50 will be less stable. A larger tripod, or tripod with a wider leg stance is encouraged. Use caution.
Note: The SeeStar will thread onto the mounting plate, but it may not initially be oriented correctly for polar alignment. To fix this, open the SeeStar app, connect to your scope, and use Scenery Mode to rotate the device into the proper position.
The SeeStar rotates around the Vixen-style 3/8" connection. Simply enter Scenery Mode in the app and use the arrow pad to rotate the base—there’s no need to open the scope's arm. Once aligned, exit Scenery Mode and proceed with your polar alignment.
This adjustable alt-az base/wedge also fit with other small camera mounts.
