Looking at photos of Telrads, the base appears shorter that the actual unit. If anyone has a Telrad, could they give me the measurements of the base, or if anyone with a 10" or 12" Collapsible SW dob and a Telrad, how is it mounted?

The Telrad web site and they give dimensions of the unit as:
Length 21.3 cm
Width 4.7 cm
Height 12.7 cm (mounted on base, no base measurements)
Weight 30 gm.

Thanks

ive one on my 8" coll-dob i stuck it on with the d/sided tape supplied its a little longer but only bt 5mm not a prob then put 2 bolts through it to make shore the base sits up a little at the front but you have plenty of adjustment with the 3 screws at the back of the telrad to still align with scope
