  • Pier Adapter Kit for Celestron and Sky-Watcher Mounts

    This Pier Adapter Kit provides a robust solution for permanently installing your equatorial mount, using three 1-inch diameter stand-off posts to create 4 inches of clearance above the pier surface. The bottom plate is engineered for a rigid three-bolt attachment, featuring three 1/2-inch holes to securely anchor your setup.

    Secure Pier Mounting with 4-inch Clearance

    The core of this adapter's design is the 4 inches of space it creates between the pier's top plate and your mount head. This elevation is critical for functionality, giving you unobstructed access to latitude adjustment bolts, azimuth knobs, and clutches that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to reach. The three 1-inch diameter posts ensure a stable, vibration-free platform for the mount. The base plate provides a simple and strong connection to your pier using a three-point pattern of 1/2-inch bolt holes.

  • Why does the Pier Adapter Kit provide 4 inches of clearance?

    The 4-inch clearance is essential for operational access to your mount. It lifts the mount head high enough to allow you to easily reach and adjust the latitude and azimuth controls for polar alignment, as well as access any clutches or knobs on the mount base that would be blocked by a flush-mounted plate.

    When preparing my pier for an EQ6-R mount, what bolt pattern does this Pier Adapter Kit use?

    The Pier Adapter Kit's bottom plate is designed to attach to a pier using a three-bolt pattern. It provides three 1/2-inch bolt holes for anchoring the adapter. You will need to source the appropriate bolts and anchors for your specific pier material (e.g., concrete or steel).

    How do the stand-off posts on the Pier Adapter Kit ensure stability?

    The kit uses three 1-inch diameter solid stand-off posts. This three-point system creates a wide, stable base that resists flexure and vibration, ensuring the connection between your pier and equatorial mount is as rigid as possible for reliable tracking and imaging.
