While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Hi Bert,

Just curious, but isn't your newer 16" LX200 ALSO bolted to a concrete pillar
or pad? Our club's is and we see no any vibrations at all. Even pounding on
the pier with a rubber mallet induces only the slightest quiver, and that
vanishes in about a second. (Our pier is sand filled.)
