I found this old (40 years+) telescope in an estate sale. It had no tripod, and no wedge. I had a Celestron CG4 mount , and started designing and adapter plate and wedge. This wedge prototype was printed at 50% infill, and once proven to work, I made the aluminum version as per the photo. The wedge allows the mount plate angle to be adjusted.
