Skywatcher EQ-AL55i<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

More comfortable viewing with long telescopes<\/strong>
With the Skywatcher EQ-AL55i, you increase the height of your mount by 200 mm. This makes looking through long refractors much more comfortable. You need to bend down less and your posture remains relaxed during longer observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Skywatcher<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Prevents collisions with tripod legs<\/strong>
The extra column spacing prevents long telescopes from bumping into the tripod legs. This keeps your setup safe and worry-free, even with larger instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Skywatcher<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Solid and reliable<\/strong>
The column is designed for stability. Your mount will remain steady and vibration-free. You can fully focus on tracking the Moon, planets or bright deep-sky objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick to install<\/strong>
Simply place the extension between your tripod and mount. No complicated tools required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
