New telescope support pier

These pictures show the new support pier that holds the Takahashi NJP mount.
It has two configurations of operation - one for use with the Astrophysics Starfire
the other for use with the ASA N12 Corrected Newtonian Astrograph (ED. this scope proved
to be of poor quality and was returned).
Both configurations are very stable.
