Hi Deb Most of the observing we do here on Maui is on undeveloped ground and lava rock is everywhere. The areas we frequent have been fairly cleared but there is always rock to deal with and give a good toss too. I think I'm wimping out on having to do all the new bending, my CG5 set up was quick and easy using the same level and my Meade tripod, the G11 is new and I haven't learned the 'secrets' of easy leveling. I think I'll be carrying some shallow wedges and just tap the wedge to get level on the G11. Still windy on Maui Rob http://banana.ifa.hawaii.edu/Weather/current.html Haleakala weather
