Is the GS10 the same base? My GS 12 base measures 25" in diametre. Which of the pdfs that you have done would best suit mine? I don't want it to protrude outside the trim on the base, so I'd be cutting a window I guess.
Any advice apreciated as I'm new to all of this Dob stuff.

Hi Glen,
Welcome to IIS
Richard's Azimuth scales are great. I have one for my 10" SW Flex Dob.
It really makes finding faint stuff easy (if you have a ALt/Az co-ord for what you want to see).
I use the free web site Tonights sky for a selection of Alt Az co-ords for selected items based on your input.
I use a Bunnings inclinometer for the Alt.
If you want to bring your dob to a dark site, check out the "Star Parties" forum and the thread for Mangrove Mountain Pony Club this weekend.
Directions in the sticky section.
Hope to see you.
Allan
PS: Thanks Again Richard
