Software Bisque Paramount Permanent Pier

No, this pier is specifically engineered for the Paramount MX, MX+, and MYT mounts. The top plate is precision-machined to interface directly with these specific Software Bisque models.

A permanent pier eliminates the need for polar alignment every time you set up your equipment. Because it is bolted to a concrete foundation, it provides superior vibration dampening and stability, which is essential for long-exposure astrophotography.

No, the height is fixed at 24 inches. This height is optimized for the geometry of the Paramount mounts to ensure you have enough clearance for the telescope to swing through the meridian without hitting the pier legs.

You will need a solid, level concrete pier base or floor. It is critical that the foundation is decoupled from the observatory floor to prevent vibrations from being transferred to the telescope during operation.

Not at all. While aluminum is lightweight compared to steel, this pier is designed with the structural rigidity required to support the weight and torque of the Paramount mounts. It offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that resists flexing during tracking.
