Hi 5ash

Ok, this is how i went about it, firstly the wedge is home made out of half inch plate steel.
When i made the plate that moves up and down to give the correct latitude, i drilled two holes dead center, one at the top and one at the bottom.
These two holes would hold the tube rings for the ED80, then i mounted the scope in the tube rings, which would now be in the center of the top plate of the wedge.
I corrected the angle to -37 degrees and took the images, and that is where the wedge is pointed.

hope that sought of explains it a bit.

cheers leon
