I noticed that the readouts (degrees) are in a clockwise manner; my query is if there is any reason why it should not be anti-clockwise instead? Just a noob with a 12" SW FlexDob tussling with the idea of using the az scale - and where can you purchase the Wixey (the USA mob doesn't want to ship international as they say they are too busy!!)

TIA
Cheers

If anyone is looking for or trying to make altitude & azimuth calibrations, I'm more than happy to draw them up for you using your design/details/size.

As a draftsman I can draw them up to scale using a cad program (licensed software). I will save them as a pdf file and attach them to this post for you and anyone else to download as you/they please.

Can you state the brand name of your dob as others may like to use it as well.

You can take this pdf file to a printing firm and have it printed full size and laminated.


Mine works well, see attachment. Although I use a Wixey digital angle gauge for the altitude.
