Hi Dave,

Thats good, I couldn't tell from your avatar that its on a concrete pier.

A very wise setup indeed.
Once you get dialed in, you wont have to worry about it anymore, unless you remove the Mount from the pier.

We have a Huge Titan mount that we mount the Clubs 14 SCT, and The 16' Truss tube Dob that has Zambuto optics on it, it's a very massive concrete pier and slab that goes from way under ground, up 1-1/2 stories to the main Viewing platform.

Last year we had a small Earthquake here in Raymond New Hampshire, it actually moved this massive slab and pier enough so, that we had to re-level and Polar align again.

Let me know how you make out, and if you have any questions on using the DSI to drift Polar align.

Dennis
