A bit of an update
Well I removed tha SkyView head and tryed to fit it to the surveyors tripod but the bolt wouldn't tighten up , due to the depth of the head been too deep .
And also there is a step in the base of the SkyView, so I needed a shim or something like that , so talking to my neighbour who is a woodworker .
We decided to sacrifice my nylon chopping board on his lathe , and voila a perfect fit .
The SkyView now sits perfectly on the survey tripod giving me another 600mm hight .probably more
So now can look vertically easy without laying on the ground
Fantastic
