Amateurs are often satisfied with just their first tripod or pier to ensure stability for their telescope. However, the more you observe, the more options you will need to equip your tripod or pier. Telescope tripod accessories can give you the versatility that you normally see in deluxe tripods but at a fraction of the cost. Take vibration pads, for example. These inexpensive pads reduce shakes and vibrations that occur when you focus or align your scope. These pads do the work of much more expensive tripods to give you a more enjoyable experience behind the eyepiece.
