Thanks Glen.
Being glued to the base means that your setting circle would be unable to be moved to calibrate the azimuth setting and you need to align your scope each time?
I am trying to find a way to avoid having to align the whole base each time i take it out. I'd like to find a solution that allows me to:
- Roughly point it north
- Point the scope at something bright
- Look up the azimuth on skysafari/stellarium
- Adjust the setting circle and stick it down.
- Get observing
Thanks again for your help,
Ant
