Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Alexander ★★★★★

The machined aluminum base made polar alignment rock-solid on my L600—no flex at all when I torqued the bolts. Tracking accuracy noticeably improved on my first night of imaging.

John K. ★★★★★

I've been using this wedge for a few weeks now, and the stability it provides during long-exposure astrophotography is night and day compared to my old setup. The machined adjustment knobs make fine-tuning polar alignment a breeze, even in the dark.

Natalie G. ★★★★★

Setup was surprisingly straightforward — the wedge's dovetail interface locked onto my mount without any play, and the fine altitude adjustment let me dial in Polaris in under two minutes. It feels rock-solid during tracking, even with a long focal length scope attached.
