Excellent Dale, just excellent. If it's not too late, fill the pier with pea gravel. NOT concrete. The vibrations will disappear completey even at high power. On 5/9/10, Dale Wilson <dalel2112@yahoo.com> wrote:
As we were viewing M81 & 82, the guys started kicking the pier to see how well my design dampened vibrations. With the 40mm super-wide angle in my 10" lx200gps, the kicks were almost absent. It wasn't until I boosted up to 125x that the vibrations could be really seen. Even then, they subsided almost instantly.
