The Wedge

I went and got one of those wedge attachments for my C8i Nexstar.
I am really glad I got it , the image is much more and noticably more stable and easier to track with in a EQ north set-up versus the Alt-Az set-up for the GOTO.
It can still do the GOTO but the image is now far better for longer exposures.
It fits right on to the top of the tripod and has a seperate fine tuning knob for getting it aligned to the north.
