This may be totally on the stupid side of the scale but if height is of concern, and you have a farm, why not lower the scope? Dig a nice hole in the ground with concrete walls and floor or whatever and place the dob base in there so the eye piece is lowered by the depth of the in the hole. With even a moderate hole it wouldn't make it impossible to use at lower angles and be close enought to the scope at all times. Just a wild thought.....after a few Saturday beers....

If it dosen't work you have a 'outside telescope time' dunny
