Ooops - nope - that's the flextube base - I'll try find the solid one for you.

OK I found the dimensions on 365-Astronomy website:

Actual Size of the telescope
Tube diameter: 28.5cm
Tube lenght:  113cm
Base width: 52cm
Base hight: 74.5cm
Full hight when tube on: 134cm

So it appears the flextube and solid versions are the same base diameter.

(Multiply pi by the diameter to get the circumference)
