Dan's Pier Top Plates add a finished appearance to the top of an 8" or 12" concrete telescope pier without making it look utilitarian and homemade. Using an innovative single-plate design it eliminates the need for multiple plates while providing adjustability, durability and good looks that match your telescope.
It is compatible with Celestron® and Meade® SCT telescopes as well as others that use the same tripod hole pattern. It is also compatible with many GEM mounts such as the Astro Physics® AP-900 & 1200 mount, Losmandy® GM-8/G-11 mount, Celestron CGE, CG5 and Orion Sirius and Atlas.
A concrete pier built using a Sonotube® provides the most stable platform possible for this class of telescope and is economical and easy to build.
