Designed for their NexStar 6/8SE and Evolution single-fork alt-az mounts, Celestron EQ Wedge for NexStar 6/8SE Evolution Telescopesenables beginner and intermediate users to do 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. 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, eliminating field rotation. It features simple installation procedures, tool-less operation, a latitude adjustment screw with easy-to-read scale, and an integrated bubble level.

[0 - 70°] You will need this with your SCT if you want to do astrophotography. Do not let anyone tell you they won't work. They are an EQ mount just not a GEM and work fine. I have them on every SCT I own regardless of brand. These are well built and NOT plastic as I have seen some people say and absolutely add to an already solid base. Buy with confidence.

[0 - 70°] I bought this wedge for celestron 6se. good weight and quality, but important thing! the mounting bolt probably causing damage to the drive base. because bolt is longer for 6se base.. so please do not screw too much. Please keep in mind. otherthing is good .. so that i gave 5 star.

[22 lb] I'm enjoying the wedge very much. I've only had one good imaging night since I got it, but already jumped to 30 seconds exposures with my 6se. It also works very well with the Celestron ASPA.
I recommend this for anyone whose not ready to move to full equatorial mount yet.

[22 lb] Solid, well built product that has exceeded all of my expectations. Far better than the older Meade equatorial wedge it replaced. So far, I have successfully used it with two telescopes, one that weighs significantly more than the specified maximum weight, not that I suggest anyone do that! If you had trouble setting this equatorial wedge up, you probably didn't read the provided instructions first. For example, loosen screws as necessary before adjusting for latitude using the provided hex wrenches and properly re-tighten them afterwards.
