Description

Star tracking and photography can be a frustrating process. Even the newer smart telescopes using EQ mode are a function of the basic principle that you must start out with a level tripod (the head mount being level for the camera, telescope etc). Even if you point at Polaris in EQ mode, you will get star trails if the tripod is not level. Anyone who has used a pan/fluid mount knows that even if you think it is level based on the single bubble level on the tripod leg or head mount, rotate the head 90 degrees it may be out of level ! Star trails using a tracker or a smart Telescope can be caused by several things but one of the main causes is an unlevel tripod (in all directions). I have never been very happy with eyeballing the level, so I decided to create a plate with 3 leveling points that you can line up with each tripod leg. 

I used 3 32mm x 7mm bubble levels. You can modify the design or I can update for you to a smaller bubble. These can be purchased on amazon and are a generic size.

I have included a 3/8 inch nut for tightening down. It is very important to print this with a minimal infill and to make sure there is ZERO warping or it will not work. I used PET-G 0.3 with Ironing for top layers. Make sure recessed areas are clean before you put level's in them. 

Works great. The image was taken on an s30 after leveling with the plate. 

Update: Added a plate for 15mm and 10mm bubble levels. These have the nut included. You can use prusa slicer to split objects.
