Finished at last Push to leveling base for Dobsonian

[Simon Dunsmore]

Hi Folks, 

After months of head scratching, researching, trawling the I ternet for bits and bobs and then another month beavering away in the garage like something out of city chity bang bang. I have finally finished the push to leveling base for my dob. 

Felt I needed to mark the moment with a grand unveiling so this seems as good a place as any. 

Just need a clear night to test it!!!!

Quick update, 

Absolutely chuffed that this worked like a dream. 

After lining up on a star and setting the pointer on the scale. Looked up coordinates of the object I wanted to view, slewed to these and hey presto the object was in the eyepiece (Well almost) just a little adjustment needed. 

Very happy chap
