A pier has been a godsend. It shortens the setup time to about five minutes as opposed to 30, since alignment is also not needed unless the goto is off but that has not happened as of yet, just uncover, then wake the mount from its hibernation and off it goes.

I'm seriously contemplating installing a pier in my light-polluted, tree surrounded backyard just to eliminate 75% of the setup fiddle farting.
I can't decide on a permanent enough place to do that.
