Key Features
- 36 lb Payload Capacity
- Use for Equatorial Tracking
- For Long Exposure Astrophotography
- Integrated Bubble Level
Designed for their NexStar 6/8SE and Evolution single-fork alt-az mounts, Celestron's EQ Wedge enables beginner and intermediate users to do long-exposure astrophotography and autoguiding by tilting the telescope's azimuth into an equatorial platform allowing it to track an arc around the polar axis. Alt-Az tracking keeps objects centered, but a long enough exposure will reveal they rotate in the field of view. Adding a wedge allows the mount to track equatorially, eliminating field rotation. It features simple installation procedures, tool-less operation, a latitude adjustment screw with easy-to-read scale, and an integrated bubble level.

What is the deference between the models # 93665 and #93664?
Each edge is slightly different depending on the model of your telescope. This wedge is NexStar 6/8SE and Evolution single-fork alt-az mounts. The Pro wedge is for larger telescopes up to 11 inches.

Does this work for the 130SLT? If not where can I get a wedge for the 130SLT?
You would need a different mount to use a wedge with this telescope. An Equatorial Mount would be the best choice, where no wedge would be needed.

Can I leave the wedge after installation and work also in AltAz mode? Is there any reason to remove it if going AltAz some of the times?
No, the wedge must be removed if you plan to use the telescope in Alt/Azm mode. The telescope will not function properly in Alt/Azm if the wedge is left on.

question
will this work on a nexstar 5se ? i live in a low altitude my wedge only goes as far as 20deg. i'm at 10.55deg
Yes it will, the mount bolt spacing is identical among the 4SE/5SE and 6SE/8SE. The tripod should support this wedge just fine. Just be sure to keep its built-in wedge perfectly flat.

question
Does this work with the 9.25?
The sixth photo in the above series shows a 9.25 on its heavy tripod (I own one so I recognise it as such). Celestron state in the specification section of their web page for this product, and I would have linked to it, but I am not allowed to: Mount Compatibility NexStar Evolution 6/8/9.25
