Pier Diameter

Good Day To All

For those that have practical experience with DIY piers ,the following question.

Would a 2300mm (9.2inch) steel pipe at a lenth of 1.2 m (48 inch) used as a pier be stable enough for astrophotography with 8 - 10 Inch reflector and EQ6 mount. (wall thickness 8mm)

It is assumed that the pier is to be bolted to a concrete base.

I have an offering for the pipe at a very good price and need to know asap.

Thank you

Andre
