Time for me to chime in. Joshua made a pier extension to allow my 102 f/11 to be used at a comfortable eyepiece height regardless of object altitude. It connects to a surveyors tripod's flat top and accepts a standard tripod head (or in this case, AltAz mount) at the other end. Everything is held together by a single bolt. A well-made, no-frills chunk of metal that does exactly what it's supposed to do, and has already provided many hours of comfortable refractive observing fun.
Thanks mate
