IOptron CEM120 & Skyshed Pier

[CotswoldsBloke]

Hi

Does anyone have any experience in mounting a CEM120 to a Skyshed pier? Altair don’t make an adapter for that mount, but I wondered if anyone had found one/modded something to fit?

Any help gratefully received. 

Cheers

Nick

Hey Nick,

 

I have a CEM120 on a skyshed pier. I purchased the adapter plate from Skyshed, so easy for me.  I had a CGX mounted on it before and that adapter plate was not workable with the CEM120. Cost me about $170 canadian (shipping in).

If you have an existing adapter plate for your current mount, if its flat on top (where the mount sits), you just need to drill 4 holes for the mount to bolt on to.

 

Cheers,

Thanks for replying, Jason. 
 

I have gone down the DIY route and had my friend tap 4 holes for me on the top plate of the pier. I get it back on Friday and I’m hopeful it will all fit nicely. If it’s out, I’ll just have to open up one or more of the holes and secure it from underneath.

Can’t wait!
