For size the tripod is beside my scope which is 1.7 m high
the tripod is almost extended to its full height, it could be a little taller but I think it will be usable with your scope . ?
I'll keep the brass sight that attaches to the tube rings on my small refractor but the rest is yours .

Could you please let me know where the balance point is on your scope
by that I mean how far along the tube , better still show me in a pic exactly where and I'll make a adapter to fit it up .

If time is a little important You coud probably get someone else to do this as I may take a little while as I have a couple of ongoing family
issues .

If you have one of the newer versions of paint on your puter you can
resize your pics within by opening the image and drop down from the taskbar (image) and then select (resize /skew)adjusting down
down to 30% or so should get you close to the allowable file size.
