To simplify every thing explained in previous post.
A .001" out of level equates to a celestial shift of 35 to 40 arc seconds.
This is for a OTA of 24", about the size of my LX200 12"
This is very picky, but knowing the importance of leveling and squareness and
perpendicularity of wedge is key, leveling adjusters (between tilt plate and
bottom of wedge plate) will not correct this problem.
