The trouble with my Meade bubble is that it's apparently not mounted evenly, and I have to use a separate level to make sure the alignment is right. When I get everything as close to right as I can, and the telescope tracks and aims correctly, the built-in bubble is off. It's off a consistent way and I have marked on it where the top of the air bubble should be, but it's easier to just use the level. Usually I make it pretty level before I put on the Superwede and scope. Then I have to recheck and re-level, but at least it's not as far off as it would be if I had neglected the first leveling. For a 12", usually it's a hassle. -- Joe
