Hello Lori;
The alignment tab/pointer that is apparently missing from your Superwedge is not critical or even necessary for you to use the wedge. The pointer, if it was on your wedge, would not be accurate enough to be of much help in polar aligning your scope. You may notice that there is a threaded hole that the pointer is supposed to attach to. That hole can be used as a rough gage for initial set up to your latitude. For accurate latitude setting you will need a torpedo level and a leveling protractor that can be purchased from a hardware store for about $10 total for both items. I do not have the time to go into all of the nuances of polar alignment, but all of the information you need is right here on the Internet. Do a Google search on polar alignment and start reading/studying. I would also suggest you join a Yahoo LX200 or 200GPS group and pose your question there. There are a lot of folks with the time and knowledge to give you a hand at the Yahoo sites.
