Does anyone know where I can find some dimensions for a wedge for a 12"
LX200?
 
The Primary question I have is the amount of offset for the tilt plate from
the centerline of the tripod.
 
I have acquired some material and wish to build my version of a wedge, so if
anyone knows of any website that contains blueprint style dimension
graphics, I would like to see them..
 
One more question, that I have always wanted to know... Has anyone ever put
a scale under each leg of the tripod to make sure the weighting is even??
 
Anywho.. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel, I just want my scope to fall
over when I mount the OTA to my homemade wedge..
 
Thanks for any info on this matter..
 
Derek
