The wood pier plate does have more vibration than the tripod, but hopefully that will get better when the pier is cut down shorter and some bracing goes around the bottom plate.

Wooden Pier Plate
I got everything bolted together and mounted on the pier temporarily, with a rough polar alignment I still have slight trailing at 30seconds. Also realized my visual back will no longer thread all the way on my focal reducer....grrrr. But I was able to get some decent shots of the moon and tried for Jupiter again.
