254252Epsilon Telescope Modular Pier System
Custom made in the UK by Epsilon.
$600 + shipping
As I have now been able to build my back yard observatory I am now selling this great portable pier system made by Epsilon in the UK.
Much better system than a tripod, no tripping over legs. Quick disassembly/assembly for transport anywhere to dark sites.
Three heavy cast aluminium legs that have an M12 threaded hole at the end for the optional levelling feet.
In use this is as solid as a rock and so much easier to level than a tripod. You don't have to worry about tripping over a tripod leg and it looks superb. Each leg is attached with 3 stainless steel machine bolts
Quick disassembly/assembly for transport anywhere to dark sites
For a permanent installation M12 studding can be fitted into a concrete base
Comes with the following mount head adaptors;
• NEQ6 mount and a HEQ5 mount professionally machined from a 100mm high billet of T6061 aluminium with a stainless steel centre shaft, large knurled fixing knob fitted with a compression roller bearing
• Great condition finished in white powder coat.
• Slotted access for loosening/tightening the EQ6 mount fixing
• Adjustable M12 stainless steel feet with 100mm diameter nylon pads
• Eyepiece holder
Pillar Details

• Pillar Thickness - 9.5 mm
• Pillar Height - 56” / 1.4cm
• Leg Support radius - 56” / 1.4cm
