  • 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 7 lb. machined component designed to bridge the mechanical interface between two generations of Paramount hardware. With precise 12 × 12 × 6 in dimensions, 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 a 7 lb. 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.

    Engineered from a solid block of material, the adapter's 7 lb. weight is a direct indicator of its role in maintaining system rigidity. It creates a stiff, flex-free connection point that is critical for precise tracking and long-exposure astrophotography, ensuring that pointing accuracy is not compromised.

    • Direct Compatibility: Allows a Paramount MYT mount to be securely attached to a Software Bisque Paramount MX Permanent Pier.
    • Preserve Your Pier Investment: Avoids the need to drill new holes or replace your existing concrete-mounted pier when changing your mount.
    • Engineered for Rigidity: The 7 lb. weight and solid construction ensure a stable, flex-free connection between the mount and pier, critical for maintaining pointing accuracy.

  • 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.

    How much weight does the Paramount MX to MYT Adaptor Plate add to the setup?

    The adapter plate itself weighs 7 lbs. You should factor this into any total weight calculations for your pier and mount system, although it is a small fraction of the capacity of the mounts it is designed for.

    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. Its 7 lb. mass and solid construction are engineered to prevent flexure and maintain the pointing and tracking accuracy of the Paramount system, even with OTAs at the MYT's capacity limit. It provides a more stable connection than a custom, less-massive solution.

    Is any additional hardware required to install the Paramount MX to MYT Adaptor Plate?

    This adapter plate is designed to interface with the existing hardware from your Paramount MX pier and the mounting hardware supplied with your Paramount MYT mount. Typically, you use the original pier bolts to attach the plate and the MYT's bolts to attach the mount to the plate.
