Skyliner 200p Measurements

[Orion_the_Hunter]

Hi, as the Skyliner 200p 8" Dob seems to be a popular telescope choice and people's main concern seems to be the measurements, here are a few:

Height of Alt bearing/tension handles from floor = 65cm

Floor to top of tube when pointing vertically = 130cm

Tube length = 111 cm

Mount width (excluding base board) = 33cm

Floor to eyepiece when pointing vertically = 117cm

Floor to eyepiece when tube horizontal = 85cm

These measurements aren't 100% accurate but are 'as near as damn it'.

If I've missed any, let me know and I'll try to help.

Gonna resurrect this thread yet again.

Can anyone tell me the width of the base board? Trying to figure out the floorspace required.

Thanks very much, bit bigger than i thought. I don't care though, nothing is going to stop me buying this thing after all these months of saving
