Super easy DIY Celestron AVX Pier Extension

Posted By Michael Southam

Thank you for posting Ben. Super easy as the description says. The instructions are very well thought out and easy to follow. I trusted all thread sizes without verifying first and found them to be spot on. 

The one comment/correction I would make is that because I had previously made a pier for my AVX, I had already measured the hole saw size needed as 2 3/8 or 60mm. I used the Milwaukee 2 3/8 hole saw I already had instead of the the 2.5" recommended. This hole size fits the AVX snuggly without binding or giving a sloppy fit.
