Pier-Tech 2 is a patented (US Patent#7,048,238) electro-mechanical telescope pier. It is designed for the observer who wishes to raise and lower the pier by a push of a button. The PT2 has many applications, such as allowing observers of different standing height to look comfortably thru the eyepiece. Another application is for observers who have multiple telescopes, such as refractors and cassigrains.

The PT2 allows use of only one pier, since you could raise or lower the pier when switching between different styles of telescopes. When looking high near the zenith, you don't need to strain your back by crouching down to look thru the eyepiece, just simply push the button on the hand pendant to raise the eyepiece to your eye, while still keeping the telescope level and polar aligned GUARANTEED!. Best of all, target stays in the field of view!!!!

Pier-Tech 3 is a patented (US Patent#7,048,238) electro-mechanical telescope pier. The PT3 is similar to the PT2 except it can lift a telescope and mount load of 800 lbs total. The Pier-Tech 3 price is $3300.



In observatory applications, use the PT2 or PT3 to raise the telescope above the observatory wall, to view astronomical objects near the horizon.
It can also be controlled via your personal computer or controlling server, with the addition of our Auto-Pier software and hardware.
