Sky-Watcher 180mm Reflector Telescope (EQ5 / HEQ5 / WAVE): The space your mount is asking for
This silver extension raises your mount head 180mm higher on the tripod. This offers two direct advantages: you can comfortably view through long refractors without bending over, and your telescope or camera rotates freely without hitting the tripod legs. Especially for zenith shots, this extra space prevents interrupted sessions.


The 1.1 kg construction is built to maintain the stiffness of your setup: gain height without sacrificing stability. Note: the four versions of this pillar extension differ in flange connection; this version fits mountings with EQ5/HEQ5 tripod connection.
Features
- 180 mm extra height for head and tube
- Prevents the tube or camera from colliding with the tripod legs
- Rigid construction of 1.1 kg
Compatibility
Suitable for the EQ5 and HEQ5 class, and via the WAVE flange also the WAVE series. Check the flange connection of your tripod and mount; the other three versions operate the remaining connections.
