Hi Nightsky

Ahah, we crossed somewhere in cyberspace!

I've always used a German Equatorial Mount (GEM) so have only seen wedges on the 'scopes of fellow observers. I do believe that there are "standard" wedges and "heavy duty" wedges, as well as wedges made by third parties.

Some of the "standard" (read lighter or less rigid) wedges seem as if they may not be rigid enough? I think the "heavy duty" wedges would cost between $400 and $1000 at least for say, a 10” or 12” fork mounted SCT?

Cheers

Dennis
