L-350 Equatorial Wedge

The PlaneWave L-350 Equatorial Wedge is a precision-engineered accessory that transforms the L-350 direct drive mount into an equatorially-aligned system, ideal for long-exposure astrophotography and advanced astronomical research.

By enabling polar alignment, this wedge allows for tracking celestial objects without field rotation—making it a critical component for observatories, imaging systems, and high-accuracy scientific instrumentation.

Built from robust materials and designed for both stability and fine adjustment, the L-350 Equatorial Wedge ensures optimal mount performance even under heavy instrument payloads.
