EQ5/HEQ5 Extension Tube

Hi Guys


Anyone have or used one of these?


My problem is that i have a deforked 8" SCT which is currently mounted on my HEQ5.


Unfortunately with the legs more or less fully extended i am not achieving a useable height for observing.


Any thoughts?

i haven't used one myself but seen a few in action and they work very well, especially useful when imaging as it lifts the scope and camera away from the mount legs so no collisions which happened to me once.

They are a perfect solution if made correctly.


 


Shameless plug but -


 


I have made dozens of these for customers in the past and several for folks on here.


 


Maybe I should start production again.
