What John says is right. The alignment process calculates the position of the base in relation to the sky. It doesnt matter what tilt your base is at, the alignment process calculates it and it will remain accurate as long as the base doesnt move. This is where the paver comes in handy.
Away from home in a grassy field, the base can move and rock if the footing isnt solid and give pointing errors.

John, which cheaper systems are affected by this? PalmDSC isnt and I cant imagine any taki algorithm based DSC having a problem here.
