Cant remember the title on the box, (think it said "digital angle meter") but its a silver cube about 50mm X 50mm X30mm with a magnetic bottom.

It reads to 0.1 degrees. I just leveled the mount with it, then magnetically attach it to the top of the scope body and dial the altitude in with the alt. control of my GEM.

Just don't ask for a "digital inclinometer". All you'll get is "Huh! What?". Try a "thingy for measuring angles that has a digital readout"

Very interesting question,

Undoubtedly my Argo Navis is such a handy tool and I have some stunning eyepieces and filters, however, after considerable thought on the subject I think my EZY Collimator double pass laser would have to get the gong. Mind you, it really should be shared with my other Tectron collimating tools.

If your scope is not correctly collimated than all other accessories become meaningless.
