Default DIY Wedge on A.S.I.G.N.

Hi all,

A nice fellow asked for a design for a wedge for his SCT, so while I was at it, I thought I would go the whole hog and add it to the DIY page on the A.S.I.G.N. Observatory website.

http://www.asignobservatory.com/DIY.aspx

Its a start, a good guide and open for as many modifications as your skills and imagination will allow.

I hope it comes in handy for those looking to move onto astrophotography.

This is a simple and rigid wedge, that will get the job done.

Cheers,

Baz.

Hey Barry!

Nicely done, simple and quite effective. I like that one can add as much "beef" to the materials as is needed for the particular scope for the desired results.

BTW, your website is becoming quite the place to roam around. I'm impressed, mate! Lookin' good...

Cheers, and CDS!

Bob
