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

First, let me say this is a great product! I have bought two of them so far. I use it to mount my Seestar and Dwarf telescopes in EQ orientation. IT COMES WITH THE SADDLE DOVETAIL so you'll be ready to go as soon as you get it (the Dwarf has a smaller hole in the bottom so you'll need a 1/4 -> 3/8 adaptor). It is very sturdy and a perfect match for the Sky Watcher Star Adventurer tripod. The adjustment knobs are easy to use for fast polar alignment. If you're on the fence about buying this, just do it. You won't regret it.

It works perfectly with my SeeStar S50 and S30. Fits easily with the skywatcher tripod. It’s easy to install and doesn’t weigh much.

I'm using this extensively with my Seestar S50 now that equatorial mode is available. It's Working out well. My only criticism is that there's a little bit too much play in the gear adjustments, specially in latitude. It can be tricky getting it to be precise, taking some extra time and effort. But I do recommend it and would buy it again. It was a good price too.

This has been a great product for a very reasonable price. I use it with my Move Shot Move, Canon R5 and R6, and heavy lenses. It allows me to complete a very good polar alignment getting great performance of everything attached on top. I did attach an Arca Swiss type clamp to the dove tail making it easier to install/remove camera set up. Would highly recommend for the purpose i purchased for!

Perfect for Seestar S50.

I purchased this to use with my Seestar S50 Smart Telescope. The scope now has an equatorial mode that requires a base that you can tilt to align the scope's axis of rotation with the Earth's axis of rotation. Unfortunately, the device has a knob for the dovetail that interferes with the telescope. I had to purchase an M8-1.25 x40 mm thumb screw to give the scope the freedom to rotate.

I used this wedge for about two years, and I've just recently purchased a William Optics wedge to compare it to. The WO is more expensive, but far more stable than this one. For <50mm lenses the Sky Watcher wedge will work great. For ~200mm, this wedge is too sloppy and has too much flexure. The SkyWatcher wedge is frustrating in two important ways: there's a ton of slop in the screws, and there's a plastic piece that failed on me in the field. If you get this, and plan on using >100mm lenses, I recommend: 1) disassembling it, degreasing it, then using a thick, sticky machine grease on the worm gear that drives the altitude. 2) Wrap the azimuth adjusters in teflon tape. That will reduce some slop, making alignment easier. 3) Get two thumbscrews to replace the button head screws, so you can tighten down the az plate in the field after alignment without an Allen key. 6) Replace the altitude clutch with an m6 70mm hex bolt and wing nut. Under the stock alt clutch is a plastic gear holding the alt tightener. This plastic gear sheared off while I was trying to image one night. Maybe I was over tightening it, but there was so much residual play in the alt that it was hard not to. Replacing this with a metal wingnut helps the play, but doesn't eliminate it.

Using this wedge to modify my Seestar to Eq mode for my Manfrotto tripod. Works as expected. 👌

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

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.

Well made suits my purpose
