I agree with Noah4x4 which is the latest method and it works fine for me and my Nexstar 6SE. when taking long exposure imaging with my DSLR, typically around 90seconds for closer Deep sky nebula, I normally repeat the process a couple of times to fine tune. I totally disagree with Cosmic Geoff who claims the alt/az setup is unsuitable as I have had very acceptable results without spending £ thousands on top end EQ mounts. my mature advice is to spend time on the set up.. Accurately level mount before carefully going through alignment. My first attempt at deep sky on my new wedge was the Whirlpool galaxy, image attached.

I have a Celestron Nexstar 5SE which I use for deep sky imaging using the EQ align with the built in wedge. I have been getting great results with this polar aligned set up. I recently purchased the Celestron WiFi dongle to enable use of the sky portal app. Can anyone explain the Process of using the wedge align function as I have tried everything now without success. Thanks

Has anyone got any deep sky images taken with the Celestron 102 , just wondering what to.expect of this scope as I am looking to mount one on my Celestron advanced GT EQ mount
