Thanks for the response Glen.
I guess I would be getting a goto & tracking dob, and never having used one, I was wondering if there is an advantage in fixing the base location.
I could at least do something like imprint the base feet on the wet concrete to ensure the dob is always identically oriented in case I need to move it, but don't know if this is actually going to help setup the scope at the start of each session.
Is there any point to this approach, or would I have to align the scope before each session anyway ?

Thanks
