Beschreibung
Die MSM Wedge ist gemacht für präzise Polausrichtung – wie ein Kugelkopf, nur mit deutlich feineren Einstellmöglichkeiten. Vier Knöpfe + ein Griff erlauben multidirektionale Feineinstellungen, damit Tracker oder Kamera genau im gewünschten Winkel sitzen. Auf der Quick-Release-Platte oben ist eine Standard-1/4"-20-Schraube, um Zubehör direkt zu befestigen.
So richtest du den NOMAD mit dem MSM-Wedge ein
So geht’s:

Knopf A: Verriegelt/entriegelt die Quick-Release-Platte
Knopf B & Griff:
Knopf B = Höhenanpassung
Griff = verriegelt/entriegelt die Höhe. Einfach rausziehen, Richtung ändern, ohne dass der Verriegelungsstatus beeinflusst wird.
Knöpfe C & D: Feine Azimut-Korrekturen für präzises Links/Rechts-Positionieren
Knopf E: Werkschraube, nur für die Basismontage
Wedge + Panning Base – die perfekte Kombi:
Mit der Panning Base dreht ihr eure Ausrüstung frei, ohne das Stativ zu verschieben – mega praktisch für schnelles Setup, vor allem an neuen Spots.
Die Wedge sorgt für präzise, feine Poljustage – smooth & genau.
Zusammen spart ihr Zeit: grobe + feine Ausrichtung wird super easy.
Principally they wedge is a good idea for fine adjustments. I put it on a 2way-video-head, to get a wider range for fast movement in right ascension in order to find polaris, after s rough alignment of the tripod.
I‘ve recognized some kind of slack in declination turning the screw until the wedge moves. Not sure if this normal
I'm overall very satisfied with this product, its only issue is something that is an unavoidable feature when designing for small weight and compactness. Due to how small the wedge is, with the rotator, polar scope and laser attached, it can be tedious to make fine adjustments using the small screws while looking through the polar scope but it is nothing that you can't get used to.
For what it is designed for (more precise alignment while maintaining transportability), it does its job extremely well. I was able to capture a detailed deep-sky image of the Orion Nebula using this wedge, the original MSM Rotator and a 210mm lens, which, I believe is safe to say was pushing the limit of what MSM products are generally designed for.
For shorter focal lengths (85-135 mm), I believe the level of precision this product offers is more than adequate, and for wide-field images with shorter focal lengths, the finnickiness becomes a non-issue. If you are trying to use the MSM wedge and polar scope for proper deep-sky astrophotography, you might be a bit frustrated with the small knobs and how close together everything is but bear in mind that you are using the product for more than it was designed for.
However, even in such cases, you can achieve decent results with experience and some experimentation. This product is adequate for wide-field deep-sky imaging (135-200 mm) and excellent for Milky Way or other types of wide-field astrophotography at shorter focal lengths (35-85 mm).
Excellent return and replacement warranty service.
I'm primarily a macro photographer and do a little astrophotography. When I saw this precise wedge, I was thrilled because achieving the final, exact polar alignment with conventional tripod heads is always very impractical in extreme macro photography. It's an excellent piece of equipment for my needs.
I'll also use it with my tracker, but I haven't had time for that yet. I think the precise adjustment will work just as well.
Con la cuña de alineación el trabajo alinear el tracker se hace mas llevadero y preciso
This is the best wedge I have used with my smart scopes, I already own 3 of these and will soon be adding a forth, as a society we do a lot of public outreach, and these make setting up easy and we always recommend there for use when people are buying Seestars Dwarfs etc, a few images below taken in EQ mode using these.
This wedge is a must have for Nomad tracker! Its very solid and sturdy but at the same time very small! It could be used also for other star trackers such a: Swsa, Fornax and Ioptron portable trackers. Love it for hiking when each kg counts at the end.
Well-made with very smooth and precise gearing. Much smoother and precise than the Sky Watcher I have. Very easy to get a very fine adjustment and hold it. I would purchase it again without hesitation.
Solid construction, easy to operate, precise up to 0.1º, excellent equatorial mode on Seestar and similar telescopes!
I already had the original version of the MSM wedge and while it worked ok, the newer current version is a noticeable improvement. The altitude locking is improved and overall it is easier to make fine adjustments. A nice match for the Nomad to keep everything compact. I think it would handle a Seestar in EQ mode ok, though I use a MSM geared head for that.
