Brian, A Newt on an EQ mount is an entirely different kettle of fish to a dob mounted one. Yes, it's usually higher than a moderate sized dob, but the eyepiece gets into some very awkward positions indeed, from pointing
directly down at the ground to directly up into the sky, and any position in between. There are two ways of resolving this problem; a pair of
special tube rings that allow the tube to be rotated to a comfortable position without sliding down under the force of gravity,[very expensive] or a D.I.Y. setup such as I made for mine that cost me $2!!!!
