Hi Mardy

Sorry for hijacking your thread and i will desist. You might do well by reading the stuff we are talking about though as it will directly affect what you are trying to do. Unless you get your mount to perform consistently PEC will be of no value to you at all. Couple this to the cost of a wedge......... expensive mistake???? By the way Andrew does know more then me about these mounts, I believe he works on them for a living. That said I think the best advice anyone can give if you are really serious about long exposure AP is save the money you intend to spend on a wedge and put it toward an EQ mount.
