Wedge, HD Pro (for CPC 8/9/11)

Celestron’s HD Pro Wedge is designed to support our fork mounted Schmidt Cassegrain Telescopes up to 11″.  The HD Pro Wedge provides a heavy duty, stable platform that is perfect for astroimaging and guarantees minimal vibration.  A low latitude range of 0-90° 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.

HD Pro Wedge – General Features

• 14 mm 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° 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.
