The problem with engraved marks to show you angles is that you have to have them on something that does not move with respect to the sky. So a frac in rings is troublesome as you can rotate everything including the scope, or my SCT which is fixed in relation to the mount but the whole image train cab be rotated in a number of different places between rear cell of the scope and the camera.
Thanks Paul, so much to learn ... so little time
