Software Bisque Paramount MX Pier to Paramount MYT Base Adaptor Plate
The Software Bisque Paramount MX Pier to Paramount MYT Base Adaptor Plate is a machined component designed to bridge the mechanical interface between two generations of Paramount hardware. It allows you to install a Paramount MYT mount directly onto a permanent pier originally drilled for the larger Paramount MX, preserving your original investment and alignment.
Mount Your Paramount MYT on an MX Pier Foundation
This adapter plate solves a common hardware problem for astronomers upgrading or diversifying their setups: mounting the smaller Paramount MYT onto a pier built for the Paramount MX. Instead of drilling new holes in your existing concrete pier or replacing it entirely, this plate provides the correct bolt pattern for the MYT while attaching securely to the MX's footprint.
The adapter creates a stiff, flex-free connection point that is critical for precise tracking and long-exposure astrophotography, ensuring that pointing accuracy is not compromised.

What is the primary purpose of the Software Bisque Paramount MX to MYT Adaptor Plate?
Its sole purpose is to allow a Software Bisque Paramount MYT mount to be physically and securely installed onto a Software Bisque Paramount MX Permanent Pier. It adapts the different mounting hole patterns between the two systems.
Do I need this adapter plate to mount a Paramount MYT on any pier?
No. This adapter is specifically for connecting a Paramount MYT mount to a pier that was originally drilled and configured for a Paramount MX mount. If you are installing a new pier for your MYT, you would use the standard MYT mounting hardware and hole pattern.
I'm replacing my Paramount MX with a Paramount MYT, but my pier is set in concrete. Will this adapter work?
Yes, this is the exact scenario this product is designed for. The adapter plate allows you to unbolt your MX, bolt the plate onto the existing MX pier holes, and then attach your new MYT to the plate without any modification to the pier itself.
Will using the Paramount MX to MYT Adaptor Plate introduce any flexure with a heavy OTA like a Celestron C11?
The plate is designed to be exceptionally rigid. It is engineered to prevent flexure and maintain the pointing and tracking accuracy of the Paramount system, even with OTAs at the MYT's capacity limit.
Is any additional hardware required to install the Paramount MX to MYT Adaptor Plate?
Software Bisque does not list mounting hardware with this plate, so confirm with us which bolts you need before installation.
