To help find more still...
..and because I don't seem that good at star hopping,
I've printed and stuck a setting circle for the round part of my SW 130p Dob and will be using a digital spirit level on my phone for degrees alt. To align the base I have marked one of the 3 parts that stick out of the base, but I'm not sure where to align it to. I think I've read on here (maybe another forum) that it's true North as opposed to magnetic north, could someone please confirm if that's correct.
I'm not sure this will be very accurate but it cost nothing and completed in minutes. I'll try it first on Arcturus as that blazes outside from the balcony.
