Skywatcher Goto Dobs - Levelling
This question has probably been asked years ago, so I’m going to raise the issue again , why don’t Skywatcher Goto dobs have a simple levelling adjuster built into the base ? I’m sure Synta engineers are clever enough to design,manufacture and install a simple but very important device for the telescope
I have a 12” Goto dob and use furniture feet adjusters placed under the base next to the fixed feet ( it works but it’s crude )
Even the manual mentions to level the base for accurate Synscan Goto function
Surely it would only add $100 to the overall price or about 3%
It’s like buying one of their EQ Mounts with no tripod leg adjustment and using a makeshift levelling system like blocks or bricks etc....
These dobs are not light buggers and it shouldn’t be up to end user ( customer) to jury rig a solution for levelling
I’ve asked my supplier and they just say that’s how it comes
Surely some feedback to Synta may stir the pot in their R&D to improve design development
My 2 cents ....
Any thoughts on the above issue........
Comments welcome
