Skywatcher wedge latitude.

[nickp87]

Hi all, been reading that the skywatcher wedge has the latitude scale is printed wrong or something and you need to adjust your latitude differently.

Mine is 50 degrees, so what would I need to set it at?

Thanks.

Hi Nick

I would try this:

Place the top of the moveable part of the wedge parallel to the base of the wedge.

If the zero on the scale is next to the pointer then the scale is correct.

So for Devon set to 50.

But you can easily check using Polaris, that should be close enough to allow a full PA if you need to.
