The Equatorial Wedge permits use of any version of the 8" LX200 telescope in an astronomical, or "equatorial," mode. This is ideal for those wanting to do long exposure astro imaging as the use of the wedge prevents field rotation on the image.The wedge fits onto the field tripod directly.
The equatorial wedge for the 8" LX200 telescope is of modern design, with several important features incorporated to simplify and facilitate telescope operation. After using the wedge, you will find that the functional design features included are of very significant value in routine telescope operations. Features included are:
1. Attachment of the wedge to the field tripod by means of only one manual knob.
2. Quick azimuth adjustment by loosening the manual knob as described above.
3. Bubble level for rapid tripod/wedge leveling.
4. Etched latitude scale for fast adjustment of the latitude angle.
