When using a large camera, filter wheel, or a long refractor, you can often run into collisions with the mount itself, especially near the meridian. By elevating the entire telescope tube by 25mm, these risers create the space needed for your equipment to move freely throughout the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis added height can also be a significant advantage when balancing a complex imaging train. Elevating the center of gravity can sometimes make fine-tuning declination balance easier, especially with top-heavy or bottom-heavy accessory configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSolid, Anodized Aluminum Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachined from a single piece of high-quality aluminum, these risers are built for stability.
