Thanks for the responses. Yes, this is in relation to my Mach 1.
I have three places that I will setup. One at home, one at my dark site, one on a tripod at a friends place.
At my dark site, I spent a LOT of time making sure the pier was very level. Thats Pic1.
At home, I haven't worried too much about it. I don't expect to use it a lot at home. I really did it for testing purposes. Thats Pic2.
The tripod is the question. In the past with my EQ6 I felt I was chasing my tail a bit, and would eventually say "ah, what the hell". When in this situation I did the same - focus on the east/west level more than the north/south level and it did seem to work well.
But being an eq mount, and I usually guide, it sounds like the levelling in Pics1 and 2 will be fine. When I get setup, I will take some pics of the bullseye level. I didn't realise you could get them at Bunnings.
