Bruce,

 

Interesting comments regarding Vito.  My experience has been the exact opposite (with PT mobile observatory).  Once I’d fully paid him, it was mine – along with all its problems.  Warranty useless.  My club has had much worse experiences with him on two large observatories.  We’ve all had to solve our own problems – at our own expense.

 

Once I had to sick PayPal on him TWICE to get money back I’d paid him – for accessories he never shipped.

 

Fortunately my single column PT pier has performed flawlessly over 4 years.

 

Just a warning.

 

Woody

Jack,

Are you thinking of getting something like the PT-3 dual pier column that Pier-tech sells?  I know you mentioned Pier-Tech previously but looking for another source as it is expensive.  I must say, if you are looking for this design, the one I got from Pier-Tech, albeit expensive, has worked like a charm for almost 2 years now with my AP1100, C11" and now 80mm piggybacked on top.  Vito is always available and everything is under warranty.  It makes me sleep better at night.
