The Meade Superwedge is a solid choice for stabilizing large telescopes like the 10" or 12" LX200, especially for serious astrophotography or high-resolution visual observation.
Here are some considerations:
-
Stability: The Superwedge provides a stable platform for your telescope, reducing vibrations and allowing for precise tracking, essential for long-exposure astrophotography.
-
Tracking Accuracy: With a wedge-mounted telescope, you can achieve better tracking accuracy, especially for objects near the zenith, compared to alt-azimuth mounts.
-
Polar Alignment: It allows for accurate polar alignment, crucial for long-exposure astrophotography to prevent star trails.
-
Portability: While the Superwedge provides stability, it does add bulk and weight to your setup, so consider the portability aspect if you plan to transport your telescope frequently.
-
Compatibility: Ensure that the Superwedge is compatible with your specific model of the LX200, as Meade might have different versions for different telescope sizes.
-
Price: The Superwedge is an investment, but it's worth it if you're serious about astrophotography or want the best performance from your telescope.
