Skywatcher Pier for EQ5, HEQ5, AZ-EQ5 or Vixen GP Mounts

Name: Skywatcher Pier for EQ5, HEQ5, AZ-EQ5 or Vixen GP Mounts
Brand: Skywatcher
SKU: Säule-EQ5w
Price: 375 EUR

The Skywatcher #20888 pier replaces the tripod of the EQ5, EQ3, ... mounts and allows free rotation (swivelling) of the telescope.

Suitable for all Skywatcher EQ5 mount and all mounts with the same tripod connection, like H-EQ5, AZ-EQ5, EQ3 and Vixen GP.

The beams can be separated from the center pier, thus transporting becomes easier.

The stability is comparable with the one of a massive stainless steel tripod.

Longer telescopes can be rotated freely.

Rollers allow easy transportation of the entire telescope on flat surfaces. Simply roll the telescope out of the garage.

With the levelling screws at the outer ends of the beams, the rollers can be lifted from the ground and the pier gets a solid stand.

Skywatcher Pier for EQ5 Mounts and similar ones

The pier from Skywatcher provides good stability and, besides that, is also transportable. Compared with the tripod, the pier has some advantages:

Longer telescopes can be rotated freely. Thus, for example, exposures can last far beyond the meridian, without flipping the mount. With a tripod, the telescope will eventually touch one of the tripod legs.

By using the levelling screws, proper levelling can be accomplished without physical effort, even at full load.

Especially helpfull when using in the garden - you can easily roll the fully set-up telescope out of the garage on flat surfaces and use it immediately. Once set-up, simply rotate the levelling screws downwards until the rollers leave the ground.

The pier is less suitable for use on soft ground like lawn. Here the tripod is clearly better suited.

Suitable for:	All mounts with EQ5 style tripod connector
Color:	white
Height:	approx. 890 mm with the three beams and the levelling screws
Weight:	15.7 kg
Diameter of the pier:	100 mm
Length of the beams:	420 mm

Ich benutzte seit 11 Jahren die Säule "Säule-EQ5w2" mit AS-GT Montierung. Beim Wechsel auf die AVX Montierung habe ich die gleiche Säule mit diesem Adapter angepasst. Der Adapter passt also nicht nur zu Tri-Pier Säulen, sondern auch zu Säulen mit Auslegern, die ebenfalls 9,4 cm Durchmesser haben.

"Die Säule verwende ich auf dem Balkon( nur 1,5 m breit) anstelle des Statives. Mit der Qualität bin ich sehr zufrieden. Die Säule ist stabil und solide verarbeitet. ***"

"Die Teleskopsäule ist fast perfekt. Als einziges Manko ist zu bemerken: An den Stellschrauben zur Ausrichtung der Säule fehlen Tellerfüße für weichen Untergrund. "
