Tripod Tribulations

[Lounging]

Hi..

I have a Mon-2 mount.. and hope this isn't a very silly question.. but is it only the bottom sections of the legs which extend? I'm getting a bad neck and knees looking at Mars.

Yup just the bottom section im afraid

Looking at the picture, it looks like there are three sections to each leg, with two extensions available.

Lounging,

I have the same mount for my Messier 90mm refractor. Unfortunately only the lower part is extendable, that's for sure.

Are you using a diagonal with your scope ? Normally I have no problem observing with mine even near to zenit, worst case I can sit on a low chair.

cheers,

Janos
