Hi Carlton, Its much easier to align the finder with the main scope during the
day; align your main scope with the top of a streetlight or similar several
hundred metres away, and then align the finder to the target and you are done, taking care not to knock the finder once it is aligned.
Making a wedge is easy if you have access to a woodsaw and a drill, and either a cheap plastic protractor or an inclinometer. Just make two identical
squares of 5 ply and two identical wedges cut from the same material, at the angle of your latitude.
Glue and/or screw it all together so you end up with one square at the correct angle to the other, and drill holes in the appropriate places to attach it to
your mount's base and the top of the tripod. You will also need a few nuts and bolts.
The sweet spot for your 1100D is ISO 1600.
