I recently put together an equatorial wedge for my NexStar 6SE and happened to have a SkyWatcher SAM, so decided to whip up a quick mount for the polar scope to get decent polar alignment.
The mount is sized for 23mm plywood (though if there's interest I can make others). The polar scope is either held in with a simple M3 screw, or an M6 ball detent which is kinder to the polar scope.
