Digital inclinometer?

[AndrewJ]

Ok have to ask why do you use an inclinometer.

If you use a wedge, you can set the latitude plate pretty accurately thus removing a lot of setup time, and no need for base levelling etc.
If you go to a star party or someones place that has a permanent setup, you can go to someone who is already aligned.
Put the inclinometer on their wedge and zero it.
Go back to your wedge and adjust your latitude plate until it reads zero.
Very quick way to get yr alignment very close before drifting etc.

Thanks Andrew, my scope is still sitting in the box it came in, I'm waiting for the EQ mount and some other gear to arrive before i can get to use it.
