Isolating Telescope Vibration

The primary purpose of my upcoming telescope purchase is to get into astrophotography, and when taking long-exposure photographs a steady tripod & mount is a must. If you already have a good tripod, here is something else that will add even more steadiness to your setup: Meade #895 Vibration Isolation Pads. Just put your tripod on these three pads on any kind of surface (concrete, soil, grass, etc.) and user or ground based vibrations will be greatly suppressed.
