The need for a level pier or base is often overstated. Of course, you will lay your foundation pretty level and when you dynabolt the pier down it will be true to a couple of degrees or better anyway.

That's good enough.

When you do a polar align, the errors are removed naturally by adjusting the mount itself to ensure that the polar axis is pointing in the right direction regardless of how flat the base is. Magic!
