Pier footings and metal top pier

Main pier set up to see what it will look like

The pier consists of over a ton of reinforced concrete sunk 1.0m
in the ground with 1.3m out of the ground and a levelable metal pier on top.
This configuration put the telescope Dec axis well over 3m off the ground.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
