StarLapse on Astrotrac Wedge

Description

Wanted a geared head that would make it easier to polar align. One that would take the same load as the StarLapse was over a thousand bucks. So I decided to try and modify a wedge to work with my tracker. Turned out to be very easy to do. Remove the top plate of the astrotrac and drill 4 countersunk holes in the dovetail Losmandy supplies. Bolt that up to the mounting block on the Astrotrac and you are all set.
