Meade - Ultrawedge

The Meade Ultrawedge for 10/12/14-inch LX200 and LX400 Model 07008 telescopes will eliminate
field-rotation effects when you’re using your telescope for astrophotography.You can do
astrophotography with LX200 and LX400 scopes in the standard altazimuth mode, but with longer
exposure times, an effect called field rotation becomes evident. Stars at the edge of the field
will appear as small concentric arcs or streaks on the film, rather than as star points. This
effect, which does not relate to the accuracy of the telescope’s computer or internal alignment,
occurs on all altazimuth-mounted telescopes. It’s simply a side effect of the altazimuth-type
mount itself.
