Here is my re-powder coated and hypertuned LXD75 on a permanent 9 inch concrete pier using 3/4 inch mounting bolts and a pier plate from Dan's. The peacock slate tile was left over from the kitchen remodel.

The new finish looks wet and deep. It has a hammered texture too.

It all sits nicely in the center of the yard. I keep the ota in the garage on a custom wall mount and simply carry it out, set it in the rings, turn it on and tell Autostar what day and time it is.

Now that is a 'sweeet' arrangement!
10 out of 10 from the powder coat to the pier....I love it.

Simply amazing work you did there. Best looking LXD75 on the planet!

That's simply the best looking paint job I have ever seen on astronomy equipment.

A work in progress. My old (but not as old as me) Cave-Astrola mount. The SV102 rides nicely on top. The mount sits upon a 50 inch tall steel pedestal. Weighs a ton!
Cheers,
Tom
