Yeah, that is actually quite a lot bigger than necessary. See
http://www.seds.org/billa/obs/tem4A.jpg
for the APPROXIMATE dimensions of the head of my pier. The square
part of the base sticks out about an inch beyond the 10x10 square.
The three holes *about* 4.25 inches apart in an equilateral triangle
match the holes in the LX200 base.
