Advanced Telescope Systems portable telescope piers meet the exacting requirement of a rigid base for your observing platform while being very portable, extremely solid, easily leveled and impervious to all weather.
Attaching a precision and expensive equatorial head and optical system to a shaky tripod degrades the performance of both the optical and guidance systems. Piers manufactured by Advanced Telescope Systems are designed for portability and yet maintain the rigidity required for a quality observing experience. Our piers are easy to transport, easy to set-up, easily leveled and impervious to weather. All of these features allow the portable piers to maintain their usability and quality for many years.
Total pier height is calculated from the ground to the top of the pier in set-up mode. Pier adapters are not included in the price. Custom pier adapters are available for an additional fee depending on the machining required. Prices do not include shipping, handling, or any applicable taxes. All prices are in U.S. Dollars.
