Description

I wanted to add a level to my Celestron Astromaster 130EQ telescope to assist in polar alignment. I believe this tripod is the CG-3, so any telescope that uses it should work.

The levels I used are 9.5mm diameter x 31mm long cylindrical level bubbles. We had them lying around so I don't know where to source them. They should just slide in with a stay with friction.

This piece goes between the tripod legs and the equatorial mount.

I was able to print this without supports. There's a small bridge where the cylinders go. I was having issues printing this part fully cylindrical, which is why it's slightly square shaped here.
