The wedge mounts between the tripod and the mount or tracking unit. This allows the mount to be aligned equatorially so that the tracking axis is parallel to the Earth's axis.
This polar wedge was developed especially for iOptron Mount SkyGuider Pro. The polar wedge included with the SkyGuider Pro is perfectly suited for wide-angle imaging. However, if you want to image deep sky objects with a telephoto lens or small telescope that require longer exposure times, this equatorial wedge from William Optics is superior. It facilitates fine adjustment of polar height and precision orientation. However, this polar wedge is larger and heavier. So it wouldn't hurt to have two wedges.... The supplied, lighter one for wide angle images and the heavier William Optics version for longer exposure times.
