Subject: Website for the Ulti-Wedge  Top

From: Randy Marsden <jmarsdena_tsan.rr.com>

I received such a good response to my previous posting about my home-brewed wedge that I have put together a website about it and decided to produce it for anyone interested in owning one. I also added a few accessories and options that would be useful to go with it.

The web site is at:
     <http://home.san.rr.com/hobbyland/Ulti-Wedge/> I also set-up an email address for it which is given on the webpage.

Subject: Evolution (formerly Superior Wedge) Released by Mitty Observatory Machine Shop  Top

From: Frank Sperl <astroa_tcfl.rr.com>

The Mitty Observatory Machine Shop announces availability of the Evolution Wedge. This wedge has been in development for about a year. I think you will agree that the wait was worth it.

See our website for more details:
    <http://home.cfl.rr.com/mitty/Evolution_Wedge.htm>

We also do the Declination Bearing modification for the older LX200s. More products will be coming along shortly.

Note: some members have reported long delivery times, missed delivery times, & no responses to emails.
