Setting circles for Dobsonian.

Hi all. Me again.

I have 10" collapsible dob.

I don't have Goto or Argo Navis.

Is there something that I can put on my dob to assist with navigation? I saw something online that had a setting circle for the azimuth setting (360 deg) for the base and a 90 deg setting for the up and down part. Looked like a really good idea. This would certainly help in locating objects a lot easier instead of aiming in the general direction and thinking I'm on target.

I even thought about getting a measuring tape and marking 360 even marks on the base but not sure how accurate this you be.


Hope all that makes sense.
