About this product

Model:  skyw_eq5_heq5_ext_tube
Part Number:  20856

This 400mm Sky-Watcher extension tube extends the height of AZ4 / EQ3 / EQM-35 / EQ5 / HEQ5 / AZ-EQ5 / EQ-AL55i mounts by about 16".

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 from hitting a tripod leg.

The extension tube is installed between the top of the tripod and the mount head.

Mount stability is maintained through the metal, heavy-duty construction of the tube. 

It is also suitable for use with the Orion 05752 Monster Parallelogram Binocular Mount. 

 

Installation Video

This is for an AZ-EQ6, but the principle is the same, except that this version comes with an azimuth pin for the top and can fit over an azimuth pin already in place on the tripod.

Built like a tank!
03 November 2023  | 

This is a solid piece of kit, built for strength and stability over lightweight portability.
It does a great job of raising your scope, very useful if you have a problem with a long scope hitting tripod legs with targets close to zenith like I have. It's probably useful for tall people doing visual astronomy with refractors, SCT's and the like.
Extra height and clearance without compromise.

Very useful

Very quick shipping. Fits perfectly. As a side note the diameter and bolt spacing are the same as the 8" EQ6R pier so if you happen to own both the ends are interchangeable depending on the mount. I use both on Skywatcher and Twilight tripods.

Sky watcher extension tube

Purchased for my HEQ5. Was astounded at how quickly the order arrived - less than a week from UK to the U.S. I have experienced longer waits for products from U.S. suppliers. Outstanding service. Extension tube was easy to install even though no instructions were included. Works great!

Telescope hitting tripod
26 February 2023  | 

I have an EQ5 pro mount. My telescope is long so that so that I have to set limits in EQASCOM way short of the meridian otherwise the telescope will hit the tripod. The extension has totally solved this problem. It is very robust and provides a very secure attachment between the tripod and head. It is longer than I need so I may reduce the length sometime in the future.

Sky-Watcher Extension Tube for AZ4 / EQ5 / HEQ5 / AZ-EQ5
24 December 2022  | 

Received very quickly < 6 days. Have installed on mount (HEQ5) and it is very sturdy. Haven't field tested yet due to -40C temperatures here. However it meets expectations testing inside. Hopefully field test next month.
