Thanks Ken , I was thinking of something similar to the marks on the ground etc . Gotcha with the azimuthbolts , thanks for the tip . I'll be starting off with my dslr and short lens . Get to know what will and won't work and working up to a longer lens . Telescope late next year .

Thanks Annette , ahaa ! Forgot about the variation thank you . I couldn't see the sense in buying a $1000 mount then upgrading later + I don't want any telescope bigger than what that mount can handle , should be okay for my budget too .

Thank you Kunama . Thanks for sharing your knowledge . Inclinometer okay , I saw someone using one to adjust his latitude on his telescope , bunnings should have one . Hahaha , the bridge broke down again a week ago , head honcho said it must be replaced . I bet they're sweating about it now christmas is so near and so many visitors to this area .

Thank you Sil . I was thinking the same thing , grind a few tiny holes into the concrete to set up correctly each time . Yeah gotcha with the fixed pin , mine has it too . Yes , I see where your coming from thank you . So , if I do some homework aligning the mount in the first place I'm going to save myself some time later as I'll be dragging it outside like your doing . Thanks Sil , I have plenty of patience and I'm a stickler for the need to be precise so Ill take my time about it . I'll stick with the dslr for the moment and get it down pat . Hahaha , righto , the weather is very unsettled at the moment .
