Hi John, I’ve had an
8” Springsonian for about 8 years and have found the fixed height eyepiece to
be a wonderful feature for extended viewing sessions. If I may, I’d like to
suggest that you optimize the eyepiece height for yourself and offer a short
step, or even more practical, a short ramp for those that are shorter. Even a
slight stoop can lessen the enjoyment of a fixed height eyepiece scope. Howard

Therefore, many of the constraints on materials/weight are loosened. Eyepiece height constant at 65” above ground. Me bent
over slightly, and my wife on tiptoes. |
