hi Harry,
I don't have setting circles on my dob, but if I were I would go with Allen's way, except ... I'd have the notch cut out on the observing side with 0° showing once the scope is placed to true north (basically 90° would be under the handle) .. that would be if I rotated to scope to the right (heading east) the numbers would go up. it still would effectively tell you what degree your scope is facing without having to walk to the front each time.

I'm just going to attempt a rudimentary setting circle with some masking tape and my circumference broken up into 360 and see how that works before I start hacking into my base.
