A digital inclinometer is a very handy piece of kit to have on hand Steve. The magnetic based is very useful, and being able to tweak settings to a fraction of a degree is more helpful than you might think.
Some applications:
- checking mount level
- homing RA axis
- Setting altitude (or "stealing" altitude off someone already set up at a site)
- working out where zero is for DEC axis
I use the first one here for about $30. Bunnings used to sell them, but can be a lot of work to find where they're hidden if in stock at all. Easier to get one shipped.
