The Sky-Watcher extension tube extends the height of EQ5/HEQ5/AZ-EQ5 mounts by about 16" . Therefore it is a popular choice with owners of long-tube refractor telescopes as it places the eyepiece at a more comfortable height and prevents the telescope hitting a tripod leg. Tube is a reliable and durable extension tube.
