New observatory project

Hi All,

I'm planning to build a roof-top observatory on my 2 storey terrace house. Design-wise will be the roll-off style. Overall design for the building is not a problem, as there are many-many examples on the net.

I just need to understand regarding the mount for my scope. Currently I'm using NEQ6 Pro.

1. It is a must that I have to use a pier for the mount?
2. Why can't I just maintain the 3-leg mount leg that comes with it?
3. If Pier is a must, do I really need to bolt it on a slab-style base?
4. Or will this design be sufficient? http://www.altairastro.com/product.p...cat=273&page=1
