Celestron WEDGE for NexStar Evolution and NexStar SE 6 & 8 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Model #93665 ENGLISH
Your NexStar tracks celestial objects with its altitude-azimuth motor drive. Objects will stay centered in the telescope’s field of view, but with alt-az tracking they will rotate over time. This limits the potential exposure time when using the telescope for astrophotography. The Wedge tilts the telescope’s azimuth axis so that it tracks stars as they move in an arc around the celestial pole. This keeps objects centered without rotation, allowing you to take longer exposure astrophotos.
Attaching the Wedge to Your Tripod 2. Use the latitude adjustment knob to move the tilt plate until the latitude scale indicates the latitude of your location. The Wedge attaches to your Evolution or SE tripod using the tripod’s 3 captive spring-loaded screws located under the tripod head. These are the 3 screws which normally attach to the fork arm assembly of your telescope. 3. Tighten the latitude locking screws on the side of the wedge to secure the tilt plate in place. 1.
