Attaching 3 pics of my EXT 125 EC on the wedge I made for it. As noted
in my review in December this setup works great if you have a sturdy
table to set the wedge on. I cut it for my latitude and am very satified
with it. As you can see it is made of 1/8" plywood. I will be building
another soon out of solid 1/2" pine and it will be somewhat smaller than
this one. Will send you pics of the new wedge when it is completed. On
the sturdy table I set the wedge on, vibrations are not a problem and
observing from a chair at the table is a pleasure.

P.S. The tube color in the pics are very blue, but the actually tube
color is the Meade dark purple. Color shift is from the flash of the
digital camera I used.
