Setting a precise altitude on a dobsonian is easy with a digital angle gauge. The gauge reports absolute angles (as well as relative) and is mounted magnetically on the scope tube. This gauge is rated to 0.1 degree precision.

What a great idea. I have one of these in my wood shop and use it all the time for setting my tooling up. I'd have never thought of using it for this purpose.
