The Testar Pier 2000 is engineered in-house by us based on the original design by 10Micron using FEM analysis to ensure structural superiority compared to other piers on the market. The thick steel construction, dip galvanization and powder coating make it virtually indestructible, with a base thickness of 25mm and tube thickness of 8.2mm. The structural fins on the base are engineered to reduce low frequency vibration and avoid resonance effects caused by wind. Available in black or white (1200mm version only).
The switching power supply is a very high quality device with full Australian certification. It accepts 110 to 240V AC input, with the output ensuring the proper 24V, 5A (120W) power supply to the GM1000.
The package includes both a 3kg and 6kg counterweight to allow precise balancing of most imaging systems. Machined from stainless steel, 10Micron counterweights are incredibly resistant to harsh environmental conditions.
The 10Micron Cordura bags are designed to reuse the shaped padding included in the transport cardboard box provided with the mount. This is an inexpensive system to safely transport the mount and its accessories when you travel to your preferred observation site.
The 10Micron Standard GPS Receiver Module is a vital tool for achieving the high-level accuracy inherent in 10Micron mount systems, particularly for field observations. By automatically inputting highly accurate local coordinates, date, and time, this module eliminates manual entry errors and ensures the mount is initialized with the precision required for complex sky modeling.
