Comfortable observation without bending over<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Skywatcher EQ5\/HEQ5\/AZ-EQ5 Column Extension gives your telescope extra height. About forty centimeters extra, so you can stay upright and look relaxed. You no longer have to bend down or find odd angles. You stay comfortable even during long sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More space for your telescope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because of the extra height, your telescope no longer touches the tripod legs. That means freer movements and a quieter image. You follow objects without the tube hitting anything. This keeps your viewing experience smooth and trouble-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply place, use immediately<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You simply snap the extension between your tripod and mount. No fuss, no tools. Within a minute, everything is solid and ready. It immediately feels stable and reliable, so you can focus on looking instead of setting up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for long refractors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Are you using a long refractor? Then you'll notice the difference immediately. You stay higher, your tube moves more freely, and you enjoy a much more comfortable position. So you get more out of every night of observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tripod in the photo is not included. You only receive the column extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
