Meade LXD75 Half Pier
i'm just wondering.... for that price why not buy something like thisariefm71 wrote:http://www.singastro.org/viewtopic.php?t=4059
I got a 6" diameter half pier with Vixen GPD adapter made by Aftech for $225 (they can make adapters for any mounts as long as u have the drawings). You probaby just need a 4" diameter half-pier so price probably is cheaper.
or
for about s$250 shipped...?
vixen, and/or japanese made some more...
Nope, these two half pier won't work for my case, because:
1. I'm using the sturdy Meade Field tripod, not Vixen's so the bottom plate won't fit my tripod.
2. 4" OD is too small for my loading capacity. I want it to be 6" OD so I can fit in Losmandy G11 head in the future.
The only solution is to custom-made my own half pier
cheers,
Arief

Just collected my 1/2 pier (thanks Kochu for the design) for the LXd75. You can view them here :
