Oh no, Marc says, another question from him! .......

I have a small obs, so have the luxury of a fixed pier and EQ6 to locate the OTA, and a vertical internal wall about 70cm in front of the horizontal OTA .

In this case, in your experience, is it practical to contemplate setting the OTA perfectly horizontal with a level and at right angles to the wall with a carpenter's steel angle, (then memorising that as a home point in EQMOD), then putting solid mounting points at the appropriate points on the wall for the laser board?
Any fine adjustment could then be done with the EQ6. Reason? Beats lugging it all inside and setting up in the living room!
