Celestron CPC Wedge Setup

All Celestron CPC telescopes can be equatorially mounted with the Celestron wedge for long exposure photography.

 This system also has the Sky-Watcher Equinox 80 as a guidescope.   It is mounted with the ADM guidescope rings and ADM mounting plate.   The Orion StarShoot Autoguider or QHY5 autoguider work well for autoguiding.
