WOW! What a monster! I like it.... Are you taking orders? I like the way
you took care of the overhanging wedge by putting another supporting surface
that allows for AZ adjustment. The leg collars that support the eyepiece
ring are a great idea also.

Hello all,

Kind of a long winded note here.

I have been spending my free time this winter modifying my 10" LX200, it's
wedge and tripod. My main interest is imaging and I was not pleased with
the
wobbles and vibrations that were inherent in the stock product. So I went
nuts! My father in law is an almost retired machinist with his own shop and
some free time and lots of energy. I drew up some plans and away we went!
