Yes Glen,
It is true.
If you do not accurately level the base of the SW GoTo Dob, then goto precision and tracking will not be accurate.
Don't you recall seeing me with the furniture legs adjusting and re adjusting the base?
In relation to your thoughts of moving to a SW DOB, this is a vital component I omitted to mention I guess.

Yes Martin,
It has been brought up before,
And we have just gone on with "Well, that's how it is"
But your point is Well Made!
For such a vital element of gaining accurate GoTO,
You are right to think Well maybe they should have included it in the design.
Well said....
Now... Who is listening?


PS: Argo Navis is far less "level base" dependent, and far more forgiving, not to mention accurate, and Southern Hemisphere based...
Hence my current setup. …. Thanks Gary
