Outline
The EQ6 extension tube is installed between the tripod and the mount head. It extends the height of the EQ6 mount so it is easier for the observer to look into a long refractor telescope. This robust metal tube gives approximately 20cm (8") in height to the assembly whithout compromising the stability of the mount.
