A polar wedge, like a small telescope polar wedge, lets you set the correct polar altitude once and keep it stable for the whole session, simply by pointing the axis north.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFine adjustment in altitude and azimuth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo stainless steel screws allow fine azimuth adjustment, useful when you're very close to the pole and just need that last, minimal tweak. Polar altitude adjustment covers a range from \u003cstrong\u003e10° to 60°\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a laser-engraved scale for easy reading even in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrated bubble level and Vixen-style clamp\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn elegantly integrated bubble level helps position the tripod level before starting alignment. The flat side clamp for Vixen-style dovetail plates holds the star tracker firmly, with a gentler yet equally secure grip compared to models relying on a single screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCNC components, made in Portugal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll components are machined with CNC equipment, with a deliberately slim design that keeps the screws freely accessible even with a tracker attached. It's produced in small batches in Portugal, where quality control also takes place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003ePolar altitude adjustment\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e10° - 60°\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eMounting plate\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVixen-style\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eTripod-side connection\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\" (no head)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eBubble level\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCNC components\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e670 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eMade in\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePortugal\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\" tripod, MiniTrack and other star trackers\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's recommended for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who already owns a portable star tracker (MiniTrack or similar) and wants faster, more precise, repeatable polar alignment compared to a simple ball head, improving tracking quality on long exposures or with telephoto lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omegon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57930196943179,"sku":"OM84986","price":179.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/1981\/1147\/files\/omegon-testa-equatoriale-deluxe-montatura-portatile.jpg?v=1784818526","url":"https:\/\/adriasky.it\/en\/products\/omegon-deluxe-polar-wedge","provider":"Adriasky","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
