wedge for fork mount

[telecasterguru]

This may be a silly question but if I get a fork mount scope and want to add a wedge later on does the wedge have to made specifically for the southern hemisphere or is a wedge a wedge regardless of where it is used?
Thanks

A wedge is a wedge. It just needs to elevate your telescope to the correct angle, north or south. In the southern hemisphere you have it rotated such that it's angled towards the south pole, in the northern hemisphere you have it rotated such that it's angled to the northern pole. Easy :thumbsup:

So, one wedge fits all.

The only situation where you need to worry is if you're at extreme latitudes, like very far south or very far north (which you're not, if you're in Sydney). Different wedges have different ranges of operation with respect to what latitude they can handle.
