Spirit Levels etc.

[Guest]

Wondered where I can buy a small spirit Level and circular spirit level for use when  setting up a telescope on a motorised mount?

Hi Martin ... you can buy the little circular bubble levels from Amazon ... 3 for about £5 .. these are the ones that come with the nexstar scopes ( or very similar ) .

Amazon, they have all kinds of them and they don't cost that much

I picked up one of these from Flee Bay to stick in the center of my 300p base. Works a treat.

"Bullseye Spirit level Bubble" It was about £3

I suppose it depends on your definition of level 😕

Do you have an iPhone? The spirit level is excellent and circular allowing to level at all angles

I use a normal short spirit level for levelling the top of the tripod before attaching the mount and then use it again to ensure the mount is in the home position.

As others have said the round bubble levels are readily available on Amazon or eBay but if you want one of the little round bubble levels then I think I have a spare that you're welcome to.

And now I'm feeling rather awkward

I've been trusting a bubble level app on my pixel phone and using the levels on the EQ5 & EQ6 mounts to validate the technology is correct (oops 🤔)

I wouldn't mind too much, but the EQ5 level is a purchased upgrade with a 3d printed bracket and 30mm bubble level (off fleabay) so I can see it when I forget my glasses.

Thanks all for all your help.
