Description
This Baader heavy pier is suitable for small and medium sized mounts, such as the 10Micron GM1000/GM2000 and Paramount MYT/MX+, and where the maximum payload capacity (i.e. mount plus telescope and accessories) does not exceed 250kg. The mount is made of steel, welded together to make a conical-octagonal structure, and in such a way that its construction dampens vibrations. The pier features an inner tube for internal cabling (from pier base to near the top of the pier - see below) and a central hole for filling with quartz sand for further vibration dampening. An accessory shelf is also supplied for e.g. eyepieces or mount handset.
