The PT2 allows use of only one pier, since you could raise or lower the pier when switching between different styles of telescopes. When looking high near the zenith, you don't need to strain your back by crouching down to look thru the eyepiece, just simply push the button on the hand pendant to raise the eyepiece to your eye, while still keeping the telescope level and polar aligned GUARANTEED!. Best of all, target stays in the field of view!!!!

In observatory applications, you can use the PT2 to raise the telescope above the observatory wall to view astronomical objects near the horizon. It can also be controlled via your personal computer or controlling server, with the addition of our Auto-Pier software and hardware.
