Observatory Piers

The Starfield Precision Steel Anti-Vibration Pier Mount is a premium telescope pier for astrophotography and permanent observatory installations. Its precision-cut steel structure and laser-cut fin design help reduce resonance, while built-in vibration isolation improves stability for smoother tracking and more consistent long-exposure performance. A rotatable top plate makes polar alignment easier even when footing orientation isn’t perfect, and the flat-pack modular design simplifies shipping and assembly.

Key Benefits

  • Anti-vibration performance — reduces shake and resonant “ringing”
  • Sharper guiding — more stable tracking for long exposures
  • Rotatable top plate — easier polar alignment (Polaris / Sigma Octantis)
  • Flat-pack modular steel — easier shipping + install with hand tools
