Nothing's impossible...
I used an ol' Lx200 12" wedge mounted on a cut down HD tripod for spectroscopy....
The Dec bearings were replaced with needle rollers (as per MAPUG site)
the wedge was stripped and re-built to tighten things up and the HD tripod cut down in height by (I think) 400mm (again instructions on the MAPUG site)
When well balanced in RA/Dec it performed well for me.
Limitations with the fork clearance to accommodate the spectroscope became the driver to change to an EQ mount and later to a lighter OTA.
I now use the C11 on a NEQ6pro mount.
