Wedge
When using a Meade/Celestron or similar SCT as a general purpose visual and photography scope the alt-az fork mount is obviously no good for long exposure DSO photography. My question is would one be better to buy a different equatorial mount or use a 'wedge' to tip the alt-az mount to equatorial?
In other words does anyone have an opinion regarding the trade off between using a wedge for photography and the hassle of setting up an equatorial for visual observing?
Lets assume a 50:50 split in use between visual and photography.
