Omegon Pro Mount for iOptron Mounts

Omegon Pro Pier for iOptron Mounts: an iOptron mount on solid ground

The Omegon Pro pier gives your telescope a sturdy, vibration-free base, at home or at a dark site. With a weight of approximately 9 kg and foldable legs, the pier is easy to transport despite a load capacity of 87 kg.

A standard tripod bends under load and vibrates with every touch. A column with a fixed center column and widely splayed legs does not: the construction is stiffer, allowing the image to settle faster after focusing or adjusting.

Adapter for iOptron

The special iOptron mounting adapter comes with a centering pin, azimuth pin, and screw set. This allows the pier to fit mounts such as the CEM40, GEM45, HEM27, and CEM70. The azimuth pin is essential: without that fixed reference point, the mount will rotate away during alignment.

Leveling and aligning

The leveling system with adjustable and fixable screws precisely positions the column horizontally, even on uneven terrain. This is the basis for a good pole setup: if the column is tilted, any subsequent alignment will work against you.

Materials and construction

The column is constructed from anodized aluminum and stainless steel. That combination provides stiffness without the weight of a cast iron column, which makes the difference between a fixed setup and one you can take with you.
