Orbit
Engineering is pleased to announce what is probably the
most exciting accessory for the Meade LX,CPC & Nextstar range of SCT
telescopes.
Building on Celestron/Meade entry level 'heavy duty' wedge the Orbit
Wedge adds some extra ordinary unique features.
Features based
on obvious observation.
1. Light Weight 6082 Grade Aluminium
2. Easy Gas Strut Weight Altitude Adjust Assist
3. Easy Quadrant Azimuth Assist
4. Super Slick Bearings On Working Joints.
5. Free Polar Alignment Scope Arm
No readily available wedge in production offers so much in sheer engineering excellence. All parts are fully serviceable and any single one part can be replaced if necessary. |

We can clearly see why the orbit wedge is a million light years ahead of any other wedge in production; by having an ‘azimuth table’ we have eliminated polar alignment error by being able to still make azimuth and altitude
fine adjustments whilst the wedge is bolted down to the tripod or pier.. No other wedge has this facility.
At any time the user can make adjustments accordingly. On a standard wedge you have to 'guess' before tightening the wedge bed, frustrating!
Only the Orbit Equatorial Wedge does this because its azimuth adjuster is built on a floating bearing. |
