Hi fine folks.  The topic title sort of tells the whole story.  I've been nosing about re: INDI this evening, and it looks like there are drivers out there to tie a Dobsonian scope into the system.  I just wondered how important precise leveling is for that?  My potential observing locations are fairly flat - one's a patio, for instance - but I'm sure they're not precisely flat - I imagine the patio has a slight slope for water drainage.  when setting up a Dob will I have to measure this, or do the calibration procedures "handle it"?

Thanks very much!
Kip
