New(soon) Pier Mount for S50

I just had the big obstacle for mounting my S50 to my front yard pier removed, the lemon tree. While the light pollution is so bad the view is great. Worst is to the north east where the scope is obstructed 30 degrees above the horizon and the south at 25 degrees.

Now to get the pier modified for the S50. It will probably take a little time because I can't do anything these days fast but it will be done.

Description: Here is the section of the pier that I have to modify. Biggest hurdle is removing the old CG-5 alignment post.

Title: Latest Update

Description: Removed old mount ring and test possible S50 mount plate. Need to get 3/8"x16 x 2" rod with hand knob now.

Description: This is the latest 3d printed spacer for the S50. It was printed at 100 percent infill and has the weight and feel of a hockey puck. Only 95mm in diameter, 13mm thick and weighs 100g. A very solid piece. I might need to print another just a little thicker as the rubber feet on the S50 might not clear the nuts on the pier. When the 3/8x16 rod comes in we'll find out. Also this took 8 hours to print.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
