Also your primary dew heater , I didn’t know Kendrick make such a large wrap a round heater to fit the big 12” tube ?

I really happy with my 12” a great scope !!

Cheers
Hi Martin

I have 4 large square pavers set in the ground into a big square that are pretty level, I plonk the scope on there, do a two star alignment and I am away...simples! I don't think leveling is as critical as most think, it just puts the second alignment star closer in case you don't know the sky very well.

Yes Kendrick make a 12" Dew strap (I had it for an Meade 12" SCT) and it wraps around the tube fine
