Best astronomical photos
What makes up the bulk of capturing accurate and impressive astrophotos?
The simple answer: a well-aligned mount.
You probably know this misery: you put your mount on the tripod and try to align it freehand with a regular ball head. It is not an easy task. Especially when it's dark and maybe cold.
Make it easy on yourself and just rule out the biggest source of error. The polar wedge adjusts the polar height and azimuth angle with the same precision as with a large telescope. This gives you the precision you need.
configuration from A to Z
Two screws are used for exact azimuth adjustment. Especially when you have almost reached the Pole, but there is only a short way to go in the right direction. After adjustment, you can fix the polar wedge.
Tilt Angle -35 to 60°
At home or on the go: with the polar wedge for MiniTrack and other travel mounts you are well prepared for travel. Iceland or, rather, Namibia: wherever your path takes you, you will be able to take excellent astronomical photographs in many places.
Adjust between -35. and 60° latitude possible
Easy to use lever for fixing
level
Exactly straight installation is important for polar alignment. It's good when it's really easy: With the spirit level of the polar wedge.
Vixen Style Dovetail Bar Mount
So that you can fit almost any small mount on the polar wedge, it was fitted with a "Vixen-style mount" which is common in astronomy. This quick clamp offers the advantage of fast and comfortable positioning of your device.
