I will add, I put in a cubic meter (And a bit) but the main reason was because I can. Even some pavers well set into the dirt for your tripod feet will improve the situation from just setting up on the dirt, in terms of easier and more repeatable setup.

The problem is that mine is about to breed, I need at least another two and possibly three blocks. One for a pier for my new mount which is on the tripod in this photo, one for a friends pier and a fourth to have somewhere flat, level and hard for a dob to get put down.


Then an observatory over the top!
