I have EQ6 pier with pillar extention for sale.
I bough it only a week ago. It's heavy duty EQ6 pier by Skywatcher. It has wheels which make the pier very easy to move around. It also has locks which help you to level your setup in seconds and make it as stable as a rock.
Be honest I really like it and would love to keep it. However because I keep my setup indoors and floor in there is higher than outside for more that 20cm I couldn't find any way to move safely the pier with a mount head and two scopes mounted on top outside and back.
I even built a bridge hoping that it helps but it didn't :-( Due ot the big differences in levels an angle is very high and it doesn't even save to move my whole setup over it during daytime.
So this pier must go. It's 90cm from a ground. It comes with all original boxes. Also I added a telescopic handle to it so it's much easier to move the pier without hurting your back. It also comes with two rings which can help you to mount any belt case for keeping your eyepieces and other gear. I will also include one case. Also it comes with pillar extention which adds extra 20cm making the total height of the pier 110cm.
Everything shown on the pictures below is included.
The price is $300 firm.
Sorry, Local pick up only as it's all very heavy to be posted for a reasonable price.
If you dont have the same problems with different levels I'm sure you will love this pier.
P.S. Please be aware that if you want to use the pier with the pillar extention you will need a part of your EQ6 tripod. I don't know how do you guys call it but lets call it the thing. It's shown on the last photo and it comes with the pier and included. However the pillar extention doesn't come with any and the one from the pier doesnt fit to the pillar. You will need to take the one from your EQ6 tripod.
