Please help.
I picked up a used pier on the IIS classifieds, it originates from these guys http://www.telescopes-astronomy.com.au. I have recently reached out to the seller and the OEM for more info, and while I am waiting...
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?p=956735
So I can't figure out how the EQ6 actually attaches, the tripod has a bolt going up and in to the EQ6, I can't figure out how that would go with the pier?
Also I am struggling with where I put it, my garden has a lot of trees and is quite sloping, I need to figure out the best of the bad sky, tips?
Also how best to implement the concrete foundation, how deep, threaded rods embedded, how to hold them in position?
Thanks for looking.
