Meru's Pier Build
Hi Meru,
Just a quick pick of when I installed my commercially made pier that a guy threw into the deal when I purchased his 8inch Meade LX-90. (I was so happy).
I used 4 foot lengths of threaded rod, all held in place by plate steel, then concrete poured with the last 4 inches protruding to bolt the pier onto.
There is just enough room to get your hand in between top plate and adaptor plate to change equatorial heads/wedge. I use it with an EQ5 head and 150mm refractor.
Hope it gives you some ideas
