Description

The mission of Advanced Telescope Systems is to provide the amateur astronomical community with top quality products. All portable and permanent piers and special accessories are custom machined to the exacting requirements of our customers. Complete customer satisfaction is guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for three years from the date of purchase.

The pier tube assembly is closed on top with an aluminum adapter plate. This plate serves the purposes of providing a rigid connection to the equatorial head assembly and stabilizing the top of the pier tube from flexure. Standard center bolt connections of 3/8" to 3/4" bolt size are available starting at $225.00. The adapter plate comes with a custom machined nut for easy assembly. Many manufacturers, including Meade, incorporate this central threaded rod type for equatorial wedge connectors.

Pier adapters are machined from aluminum plate and are designed to provide a rigid connection in the critical junction between the pier and equatorial assembly. Available adapters include Meade, Celestron, Losmandy, Paramount, Astro-Physics and other mount manufacturers.
