Hi Alex

I don't think the holes line up. I know I once modified a Meade standard wedge for someone to use a Celestron XLT but I don't have the details any more. I think I had to use an earlier version telescope mounting plate as the later type is only suitable for the LX90.

PS I also made this universal plate to fit a 10" LX200 on the standard wedge. This could also be drilled to suit the Celestron. If you can bring your wedge and C8 around I am sure I can make a similar plate for you.
