I had to use the circle done by "natdiamond" as he did a reversed version to go onto the top base plate rather then the bottom base plate. I wasn't interested in cutting a viewing notch or hole into the scope so opted to put it on the top base plate.
It's for a 12inch base plate, so I had to scale it down on my printer. Printed onto A4 in sections, laminated, cut them out and taped them together.
This also means I don't need to align the scope to North, as I have a movable indicator, I can just find my object, get its coordinates and plonk the indicator on that azimuth degree. I clip the indicator to the bottom base plate. I can get a pic if you want.
The little circular thing is just a bulls eye bubble level.
Cheers,

Thank you Dale. A picture would be awesome if you could. I currently have a round disc between the base and the actual mount. I have a section cut out so I can read the increments. Only issue I have had with this is that it moves sometimes when I spin the mount and I lose my alignment.
The bubble level is a good idea. I have a small spirit level in my kit but this would work well too. Probably better.
