Machined Pier Adapter for Mount.
Pier/Pedestal to mount Adapter
An aluminum (6061 T6) adapter, turned from round bar, to mate the EQ6 mount to a 6" diameter, 1/4" wall thickness pier/pedestal securely and solidly and allows adjustment in azimuth for polar aligning. 6" diameter is recomended for this mount as 4" pipe is simply not solid enough for large mount loads and becomes top heavy, especially with 6" refractors.
Pier as received, 55" tall and 130 lbs.
Leveling feet and casters.
Mated Mount Adapter, with both centering adjustment and attachment bolts.
Mounted EQ6....solid!!
Control paddles attached to pier with Velcro.
Finished and set up for solar observing.
6" diameter pier from Astro Mechanics.
