Our first delivered Dobsonian height stand, shipped to JH in Iowa. He found bending when viewing very uncomfortable and requested a stand to raise the focuser height. We produced the design shown at left. He sent us this photo and comments:

"Fit like a glove, firm and no wiggle. Gonna paint it black. Thanks so much, this it the perfect height for me." - JH.

Custom built Dobsonian mount stands raise your focuser position. Relaxing at the eyepiece increases your ability to see more and observe longer in comfort.

Easy assembly: Use a 3/16" hex key to screw bolts into legs through countersunk holes. Stand breaks down flat in less than a minute for transport.

Construction: 3/4" birch plywood, hex key secures legs with six 1/4-20 stainless steel socket head bolts inset through the top board into supporting legs. Bracing board (seen through center opening of top photo) locks legs eliminating flexure. Feet on your telescope's mount fit securely into inset cutouts on top board. Maximum height 20", ask for quote for taller stands..

All parts included. Kits are rough sanded with 80 grit. Finished orders are sprayed with a water resistant amber polymer amber coating. Ships unassembled.
