I must have been lucky as my scope always puts the target in the centre of the EP. I have never checked alignment, might do it for a bit of fun. The ultrawedge is OK but must be well supported along its entire length or vibrations will kill any attempts to take pics. I do not believe it to be ridgid enough when mounted on the meade tripod as it is not well supported. I have seen folks mount bracing and all sorts of crap to fix this. Barry is dead right about the forks (wobble wobble Arrrrrrggggghhhhh ). Balance is also fun as one fork is much heavier than the other. Currently I fill one side (battery box) with lead sinkers to balance it along with a ADM 3D weight system.
