Bojan.
the end of each leg terminates in a wheel slightly inboard, and a levelling screw on the extreme end, mine being M12 bolts, with a taper/point on the lower end (knob on the top).
I got the mount roughly polar aligned without worrying about being perfect, and also got it level (built in bubble).
Then used locking nuts to secure the amount that each screws down, and at the same time glued stainless steel washers onto the asphalt where I use the mount every time. The taper/points fit within the central hole of the S/S washers. Simple.

That is a very nice offer. I have no idea where Carindale is (sorry, long term Sydneyite lol) and rely on public transport (at least until I get a car, which is next on my list).

Semi-permanent site

Here it is what I have now.
I use it for both mounts (EQ6 and EQ3) I have..
The only adjustment to check is bubble level. The rest is pre-adjusted (by drift method, using my Canon camera and 500mm mirror lens and laptop.
