Best wedge for Celestron CPC-800?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm after getting my fork mounted CPC-800 on an equatorial mount at long last. Which is the best wedge to buy here in the UK as I have read numerous times that the Celestron own brand is not the best.

Also if I put a fork mount onto a wedge do I have to counterbalance in any way?

Thanks for any advice.

P.S I have a budget of approx £300 and I'm also presuming that a wedge should actually be my next purchase to take my imaging further? (presently taking around 45 sec exposures pretty successfully).

Just got to watch you have the wedge on the tripod with the legs in the right place... IIRC Brantuk had an experience with this ...

Money no object then its got to be the Orbit wedge...
