They are compatible with Celestron® and Meade® SCT telescopes as well as others that use the same tripod hole pattern. They are also compatible with many GEM mounts such as the Astro Physics® AP-900 & 1200 mount, Losmandy® GM-8/G-11 mount, Celestron CGE, CG5 and Orion Sirius and Atlas. A concrete pier built using a Sonotube® provides the most stable platform possible for this class of telescope and is economical and easy to build.
