Hans VB Wedge

[peeb]

Hello All,

I don't know if I'm allowed because I'm only new to this forum but I just thought I'd let you know if your interested, I belong to The Wollongong Amateur Astronomy Club and one of our members has built a number of Polar Wedges based on the Meade Superwedge design.

I have purchased one for my backyard observatory and I'm very happy with it. (As you can see from my thumbnail I am in need of one.)

If you are interested or would like to have a look please follow this link.

:gday: Paul and :welcome:

Np as our (and probably your) good mate Laurie (Rajah235) has already posted this very topic before, here (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=9059&highlight=wedge)

Yeah thanks mate, just thought I'd re-rattle a couple of cages as he now has a temp web site set up with more images and contact details direct to Hans himself.

Paul :thumbsup:

Are these still available and how does it compare with the Meade Ultrawedge?

Hi Fahim,
As far as I know he has a couple left, he is apparently on holidays and won't be back for a couple more weeks. I will email him and let him know of your interest.

What size scope are you going to sit on it?

I have the LX90 8" and wondered if perhaps he has a Ultrawedge clone as its more stable than the superwedge. I have the standard wedge, yet to try that out. More so they query was for my mate.
