I first began with the Meade mounted on the tripod, that came with the scope, and after buying many things that I didn’t need I did find the real need for a wedge.

Here is my LX200GPS 10” f/10 mounted on a modified traffic signal pole. The pole was acquired through my previous contacts in the traffic signal industry and it was graciously given to me with the ½” metal plate welded on top to accept the wedge mount.

I have to move my table with all the equipment out every night and back in at the end of a session. the scope stays on the pier and is covered by a large trash back for protection from the dust and dirt of the High Desert.

Here is a more resent image of my Scope. Mounted piggy back is my Tak FS-60c with a Meade 416 CCD camera attached. On the back of the Meade OTA is my ST-2000XM

You can also see the two RoboFocuser motors I have mounted, one on each of the scopes.

Now the equipment is protected by the roll off roof observatory which is a blessing to not have to relocate the equipment every session.
