Sky Watcher S20530 Star Adventurer Latitude (EQ) Base, Telescope Accessory, Black

Perfect addition to my Seestar S30 set up

Only 4star because I needed it to fit a SeeStar S50 ..it needs to be modified because the lock screw knob is too large and fouls the telescope body, and the lock screw on the wedge is too long ...easy to shorten. The other screw can be replaced with a Allan bolt ..other than that the S29530 works fine.

I have mixed feelings about this EQ wedge. Whilst the build quality appeared good, the various set screws and adjusters are not the best quality. To reduce any slop, you have to almost over-tighten them, which will only introduce problems with further slop and accuracy down the line. I swapped the ones I was unhappy with for better quality fixings and am now happy. Took a few mins and well worth the effort.

Average piece of junk. It works... the 0 - 90 deg latitude scale is printed on the wrong side. Not great in terms of stability and steadiness. What I hear is that William Optics make a better wedge... that's the one to go for.

This is the ultimate symbol of poor engineering. Unless you're planning to use it to mount a feather, do yourself a favour and keep your money to spend on something excellent like the Williams Optics wedge. Talk about chalk and cheese! My skywatcher az-gti mount has also died after hardly any use. I pulled it apart to find shocking engineering - bits of metal grinding into the terribly designed bearing surfaces. No rescuing it... To the bin. I'm avoiding all skywatcher equipment like the plague after being burnt twice now. Pros None really... Cheap but can you really define something as cheap if it's a waste of your money?! Cons Not designed to hold any weight well. Polar alignment is appalling as once aligned, if you try to lock the alignment, it puts it out of alignment. Very poor meshing of gears.

Es muy firme y con sujección estable. Cumple perfectamente con lo especificado

Great build quality and decently priced EQ base for smaller scopes. I used this specifically for the Seestar S50 when it released an EQ mode, and it has worked perfectly! However, if using this for the Seestar S50, a couple minor and easy modifications may need to be added to this base. The changes I made included at least a M8 x 20mm sized hand knob to replace the knob to tighten the dovetail slot, otherwise it will be in the way of the Seestar. Also, something to elevate the Seestar so the knob has a bit more room. The Sky Watcher includes a small dovetail plate that can elevate the Seestar, but a screw on it that helps prevent the plate from sliding off is in the way of the Seestar's rotating base. For this, you can try to loosen the screw, otherwise opt for the Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Ball Head adapter which I've been using, or if you have one, you can use a camera leveling base on the included dovetail.

Bei der Lieferung gab es keinerlei Probleme. Funktioniert alles sehr gut.

Es el producto que se necesita para complementar la Sky Watcher Star Adventure 2 que NO es PRO, hasta el momento pude montar el motor (por su puesto la Star Adventure) y sin ningún problema. Vviene con una llave allen por si se requiere hacer unos ajustes. Excelente producto.

Preso x convertire un Seestar S50 in modalità equatoriale...direi perfetto. È stabile e non ha giochi. Attenzione!!!. La vite di serraggio per la coda di rondine compresa di manopola deve essere sostituita con un semplice bullone a brugola altrimenti non è possibile montare il Seestar
