The Testar Pier 2000 is engineered in-house by us based on the original design by 10 Micron 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. Includes a custom adapter for the GM2000.

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, 6A (120W) power supply to the GM2000.

The Losmandy dovetail clamping plate 3” allows the use of standard Losmandy slide bar mounted optical tubes; this product is all CNC machined, black anodized aluminium.

The package includes both a 6kg and 12kg counterweight to allow precise balancing of most imaging systems. Machined from stainless steel, 10 Micron counterweights are incredibly resistant to harsh environmental conditions.

Taking care of your GM2000 mount will assure several years of great performance: the professional cases PLB ensure a very high level of protection. These cases are made in Italy with a special resin compound which offers a combination of high elasticity, increased shock absorption, reduced transport weight and resistance against temperature extremes. They also ensure a perfect barrier against dust, humidity, sand and ashes. The internal padding is perfectly shaped to accommodate the instruments. 

The Astromi.ch MGBox V2 is a small, lightweight GPS weather station that provides positional information, barometric pressure, temperature, humidity and dew point information with superb accuracy.
