Hi Jethro
Yes the wixey is good, I don't have any trouble with it in the cold.
I would like the digits to be twice as big with a back light.
I have read and heard that you don't have to level the dob base when using the wixey as it will read the actual angle so long as it's zeroed correctly. I still level the base, otherwise the azimuth will not be spot on. The scope will be at the right altitude but will be tilted away in the azimuth, the worst case is when the scope is at right angles to the slope. I Suppose it all depends on how close you want to get. I like testing my self by trying to get my target in view with my 11mm plossl. Very satisfying when it happens. My 26mm wide angle is often used to rescue me when I miss.
I see that you have made it easy for yourself by using an Argo Navis.
If my interest doesn't wain I may consider one myself but it would have to follow an upgrade to my scopes mirrors.
Cheers
Richard
