Looking for some risers to bring the telrad closer to finder on my dob. I haven't been able to find any on Aus dealers websites. Do they usually stock them or should i buy from the US?

What are risers? as far as I am aware the Telrad comes in two pieces, A base and the main unit.
I have two Telrads.:thumbsup:

Was told about them on cloudy nights. They come in a couple of sizes.

You might give BINTEL a call, I don't remember if they stock them or not...or alternatively buy direct from the USA.

A few more in depth google searches and i found a local supplier with both sizes in stock. Have a 2" on its way.
