I notice the TH10 dovetail mount has a scale with 0 in the middle and some marks with 5 and 10 going towards the ends.
The dovetail plate has a single mark in the center.
I've been placing it with the dovetail plate mark aligned to 0 on the dovetail mount scale.
I keep wondering if I need to align the dovetail plate mark to some other number on the dovetail mount scale since my S50 points fairly forward (being at 35 deg N latitude). I think about if the S50 sideload might be moving the tripod out of level by a few degrees and that dovetail mount scale may help compensate for that sideload?
