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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skywatcher-EQ6-180mm-Zuilverlenging-WAVE-1.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ6 180mm column extension WAVE mounted on tripod with mount as a sample setup.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skywatcher-EQ6-180mm-Zuilverlenging-WAVE-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ6 180mm column extension WAVE close-up of the black column extension.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1.1 kg construction is built to maintain the rigidity of your setup: gain height without sacrificing stability.
