Oh my, I'm drooling... a 6" TaTakahashi I bet that scope will be used
more than the 16" Meade.

So if I understand you correctly, the new wedge will set the Meade off
center from the pier? By how much? The wedge must have a unique and
robust design to provide stability with the offset. I'd love to see a
photo of it if you can find the free time to take one. I wish I lived
nearby so I could take a peek. :)
Thanks for your kind words on my asastrohoto of the PlPleiades I was
able to extract a bit more detail in the digital file than I had in the
print by using the curves tool. I wish I had hyhyperedolor film
available to me when I took the photo.
