Is that a angle gauge resting on the back , looks interesting
Sure is, I bought it last weekend when I did my bunch of other mods (finder, handles, knobs). It's called an "angle finder" or something, bought it for $10 from Mitre 10, and it simply magnets onto the OTA.

The magnet in the bottom is quite strong, snaps onto the OTA and stays on even when past vertical. It tells me the altitude i'm tilted at, which will be handy for the MSC's when I get around to doing the azimuth ones.
