Hi Carl, congatts on the good news and a concrete or steel peir will be a great advatage over a tripod; though I highly doubt some rolled sheet would serve the porpose that well, I have two steel peirs, one at home and one at my observatory, the observatory peir is 6mm wall thickness and it is satifactorely Solid, But my smaller home peir is only 3mm wall thickness and does vibrate and flex somewhat ? ?
Hope this helps mate !
