I have a heavy steel pier that came with my C8 back in the late 80s, I never used it as I lived in Sydney at the time and the light pollution meant I really only used the scope when I travelled and I left the pier in the shed.

How does the pier help (sorry for being such a noob), I thought the problems were in the tracking gears/mount capacity rather than in the tripod legs/stability?
Or am I way off the mark?

I guess I could permanently setup the pier in my backyard, the skies are much darker here in the country.

Or I could sell the wedge, the fork, and the pier to fund an EQ6 if those items are actually worth anything these days.
