If there is a thick tube, a large focus lens or a second viewfinder in the way, you will have difficulty looking through a Telrad that is low on the tube. With this Telrad height adjustment of 102 mm, the viewfinder will be positioned much higher above the tube, making it easier for you to see through it with your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Telrad is attached to a foot that you fix onto the tube, and this base elevation is intended for that configuration. Especially on large Classic Dobsons<\/a> With a wide tube you notice the difference in viewing position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before ordering, check the space on your telescope and how high you want the Telrad to be. If you\u2019re unsure whether the elevation fits your setup, feel free to ask us. Secure everything properly so that the viewfinder doesn\u2019t shift after alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want less height, there is the Telrad elevation of 2 inches<\/a>. If you use the Telrad on multiple telescopes, then a separate Telrad mounting foot<\/a> useful.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Base height increase of 102 mm for the Telrad, for when a thick tube, focus lens or second viewfinder makes looking through the Telrad difficult.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":113783,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[635],"product_cat":[56,3093,501],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-113784","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-telrad","product_cat-telescoop-accessoires","product_cat-zoeker-accessoires","product_cat-red-dot-finders-en-reflex-sights","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":113776,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/telrad-verhoging-2-inch-voor-meer-kijkcomfort-boven-de-tubus\/","url_meta":{"origin":113784,"position":0},"title":"Telrad height increase 2 inches for more viewing comfort above the tube","author":"Info telescoop","date":"09-10-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"2 inch increase for the Telrad, for a more comfortable viewing position when the viewfinder is too close to a thick tube.","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/18994_1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/18994_1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/18994_1.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":113774,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/telrad-montagevoet-losse-voet-voor-de-telrad-zoeker\/","url_meta":{"origin":113784,"position":1},"title":"Telrad mounting foot, separate foot for the Telrad viewfinder","author":"Info telescoop","date":"09-10-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Extra foot for the Telrad, so you can use the viewfinder on multiple telescopes or replace a damaged foot.","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/11132_1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/11132_1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/11132_1.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":113760,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/beschermhoes-tg-tr-voor-de-telrad-zoeker-telegizmos\/","url_meta":{"origin":113784,"position":2},"title":"Protective cover TG-TR for the Telrad viewfinder | Telegizmos","author":"Info telescoop","date":"09-10-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Protective cover that covers the entire Telrad viewfinder, including the window and the rotary control, for when the viewfinder is mounted on an extended telescope.","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/21329_1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/21329_1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/21329_1.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":112820,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/dauwverwarming-voor-de-telrad-zoeker-astrozap\/","url_meta":{"origin":113784,"position":3},"title":"Rain heating for the Telrad seeker | Astrozap","author":"Info telescoop","date":"09-10-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Heating for the glass window of the Telrad viewfinder.
