Brown Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I have a Nexstar SLT 130 telescope the wife got for me for Christmas. The problem I have is the spirit in the bubble level is evaporating, the scope hasn't been dropped its just going. Could anyone tell me where I can get a replacement please. Many thanks Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiggles Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 No idea if you can get a direct replacement, but you can pick up bullseye spirit levels from amazon for a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer33 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hi Danny, have a look on AstroBoot. They often have bubble levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brantuk Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 You can use an ordinary spirit level to set up your tripod. Level between two legs first, then turn the spirit level at 90o and, from the center of the mount, level towards the third leg. Secure the mount/scope on top and you're good to go.

glowjet Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 If it was a new scope at Christmas, I should refer the matter to the retailer, you should be at least entitled to a replacement under the warrantee. If you are not bothered, then as already pointed out, there are numerous alternatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Thanks for your help, I did try the company who import the telescope with no joy. I will look on Astroboot and Amazon. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hi, thanks for all your advice. My wife bought the telescope from Amazon, I contacted them and within 3 days not only did they replace the level they replaced the whole telescope. I am very impressed with the aftersales service, I just wanted a new level, or maybe replacing the tripod. Happy days Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
