It too is now part of the planet and not going anywhere in a hurry.
Nothing beats a firm foundation. It would literally stop a tank, come the revolution.

You could take it out and replace it with three piers...heck it wouldnt take much
You make me feel guilty for not adding rock...I suppose I could add rock.
I was imaging with the RASA last night for a while..pre pier I could not be in the observatory when imaging as just coughing ( which I do a fair bit cause of my condition) had the stars all over the place..last night I noticed no effect when I slam the door closed..says it all.
Happily the EQ8 and the EQ 5 can use the same piers and given this last set up is even more robust than the first I may place the eq 8 on it...for various reasons there is a better view in that corner.
