Meade Ultrawedge For Meade LX and RCX Telescopes

Equatorial wedge for the 7"-14" LX200, 10" & 12" LX90, and 10"-14" RCX400 model telescopes.

This 29 pound die-cast Ultrawedge comes with all necessary mounting hardware to mount it on either the Pulsar steel pier or the LX200 variable height tripod or the RCX400 tripod . It can be used over a latitude range of 25 to 65. It comes with large 3 diameter no-tool altitude and azimuth adjustment knobs to make polar alignment easy.

A supplied compass fits into the Ultrawedge to make the initial north alignment easier. The die cast vertical side pieces that hold the tilt plate are reinforced by two steel bars bolted from side to side at the rear of the wedge. These bars also improve the Ultrawedges vibration damping times.
