New Permanent Pier

Description

After curing the concrete for 2 weeks I finally mounted the new pier.

4 half inch by 10 inch L bolts set in concrete with a wooden template modeled from the piers 1/2 inch thick base. Tube is 6 inch diameter, 1/8th inch cold rolled steel, sand blasted and powder coated 48 inches tall.

The top cap was copied from the top cap of the iOptron TriPier. It was a dream to level and my first try at PA rendered a total error of 00:00:31. The true test came last night when I was able to track multiple targets at 180 seconds unguided with the roundest stars I have had in quite some time.
