Leveling issue S50

satch984

Ok we all know how to level.

But

If I level the scope to 0.0 towards south, and than move the scope towards north, the leveling change completly.
It change to 0.7/0.8, like the scope rotate not in straight line.

So, do I have to adjust level evey time I change object?

satch984 Leveling is important and really required for Sun and Moon mode. In normal stargazing mode it is less critical since level and polar alignment is achieved through plate solving. Doing some extra leveling, maybe once at the beginning of the night cannot hurt but it's not really needed. Doing it for every object is definitely overkill and a waste of valuable observation time.

Did you do a level sensor calibration first?
