SW AZ GTI with WO wedge - possible?

[RugbyRene]

Hi,

Recently bought a SW AZ GTI mount and wanted to see if the WO wedge was a better option than the SW wedge from the Star Adventurer. Like most people, I found the dovetail nob gets in the way of the mount.

Has anyone had any experience with this wedge on the AZ GTI?

Yes, it seems it works well. Check this post on Cloudynights:

I use the AZ GTe on the Star Adventurer wedge. It's similar to the AZ GTi but without clutches.

I think the wedge works well, but I've not got anything to compare it to. Positioning the wedge in azimuth is smooth, but in altitude I think I'm probably overloading it. However in both directions it's easy to move and align using SharpCap polar alignment. I can get good alignment easily, and excellent alignment with patience.

 I use the AZ GTI  On a Sw star adventurer mount successfully, replace the locking screw with an M8 grub screw, nice neat solution.
