Hi, i am just interested to find out how everyone is leveling their tripods.

I have noticed that Skywatcher has included a very small bullseye bubble level in the mount head.

I am not sure about everyone here, but i find that it is hard to get a good reading from it.



I have yet to use the mount, but played around today with it trying different things trying to get it spot on level.

I thought i had it spot on going from the inbuilt bubble level, but then i went and got a larger bullseye bubble level i use on my Dobsonianan mount and found i got a completely different reading, i placed this on top of the tripod before the head went on.



Figured that wasn't the best option, so then placed it on the accessory tray, again got a different reading again.

So going from that, i just went a got my small spirit level and placed that on the accessories tray and leveled the mount that way.



So basically 3 different way to get it level and 3 different results.

I am guessing the inbuilt level is not all that accurate being so small,

So was just interesting to hear how everyone else levels their setup.

Is using the accessories tray the way to go?
