mine is about 95cm high (pier only) from the ground, which is good for the refractor but too high for the Newt near zenith (have to stand on a small box). It shall be about 75cm when the wooden floor goes in the observatory I am making which should make it good for the newt but a bit low for the refractor, I will have to sit on the floor for that, on a cushion..
I would set it up, adjust your tripod and get your favorite stool/chair out, when you are happy with the height of the eyepiece with the least strain on you, go and measure up!!
cheers Gary
