With my LX200 classic I didn't have significant problems up to about 20km/hr.

The weak points which introduced vibrations were:
- the wedge
- the dew shield
- the pier until I filled it with sand

If it was ever going to be slightly breezy I would leave the dew shield off and just leave the dew heater on if required. For my location if there was wind there would not normally be dew.

The wedge I strengthened bit by bit over the years, adding more support/structure to it. But overall I lived with the fact having it on a wedge made it more shaky. I intended to replace the Meade wedge with a solid welded one, but never got that organised.
