Description

Celestron's HD Pro Wedge is designed to support our fork mounted Schmidt Cassegrain Telescopes up to 11".  The HD Pro provides a heavy duty, stable platform that is perfect for astroimaging and guarantees minimal vibration.  A low latitude range of 0-90 degrees makes this wedge functional for use at the equator.  Built-in features include altitude/azimuth adjustment controls with oversized knobs attached for easy polar alignment, a hand control holder that provides the option of placing on the wedge or the fork arm, a tilt plate for easier mounting of the telescope by simply rotating the scope onto the wedge, and a large 14 mm diameter latitude adjustment screw to add strength and stability while supplying less vibration and easier rotation with a heavy telescope.

 

  • 14mm Diameter Latitude Adjustment Screw - Adds strength and stability. Does not flex or bend providing less vibration and making it easier to rotate a heavy telescope.
  • 0-90 Degree Latitude Range - Low latitude range, perfect for use at the equator.
  • Built-in Hand Control Holder - Allows user to place the hand control on the wedge or fork arm. Hand control won't fall off when fork arm is angled towards the ground.
  • Tilt Plate - Recesses to fit base of telescope and base of scope drops into place just by rotating. Mounting telescope on wedge becomes easier.
  • Heavy Duty Side Plates - More rigid with more material provides less vibration while imaging.

Comments about Celestron CPC HD Pro Heavy Duty Wedge:

the bolts need to be attached to the base, so attaching the wedge to the tripod would be easier. the wedge adds about 40 pounds to the set up.

    Comments about Celestron CPC HD Pro Heavy Duty Wedge:

    It came well packaged and on time, and was easy to mount BUT,,, was very confusing on set-up and Celestron help line was confused. (Note. Telescope .com sent me right to them when had questions.) Studied the mounting and using before I got it and seemed easy till unit arrived.. the latitude numbers on the sides are 180* out from each other & latitude here @ 40* had no clear answer on which set of numbers to use and why & celestron tech line never gave clear answer or why. Using numbers on one side @ 40* mount was flat, the numbers on other side @ 40* mount was at a 45* tilt.. Has been too overcast to test but solar tracking seemed much better. (using CPC 9.25)

    Excellent price for much improved Celestron heavy duty wedge. Equatorial mount might be better & lighter, but is much more expensive for this telescope.

    Comments about Celestron CPC HD Pro Heavy Duty Wedge:

    If you take the time up front to read the 4 page instruction guide, the wedge is easy to setup and install. It is quite heavy, which is good for photography but bad on the back when moving the tripod. This is a first class product! No complaints here. [...].
