I have made three accessories to date for the LX90

An Equatorial Wedge using Peter Vaseys original design. I adapted his fixed latitude design and made a variable one. I have since adapted the same unit to give a varying Longitude setting.

Peter Vasey's site can be found here.

Peters original Wedge patterns can be found here.

Images of my adapted Wedge design can be found here.

Another of Peter's designs that I used was the Dew Heater. I am very pleased with the outcome and Dew (even severe Dew) is no longer a problem. The design has three temperature settings via the use of 2 heater coils (one is on, the other is then one, both of them are on).
