Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a good EQ wedge for an Alt-Az mount (Celestron SLT).
The main issue is that the mount head itself weighs about 5 lbs, so if I use a wedge rated for ~11 lbs (like the Star Adventurer wedge), that leaves only about 6 lbs for the scope, camera, and everything else.
I’m planning to use lightweight astrographs (around 30–50mm) with a small imaging setup.
I know this won’t replace a real EQ mount, but I’d like to see how far this kind of setup can go.
I’d just like to have wedge recommendations with higher load capacity.
Thanks! Clear Skies!
