The Apertura AD12 is a popular Dobsonian telescope known for its impressive aperture and ease of use. The height of the base is an important specification, especially if you’re planning to transport it or find the right storage space. Based on user measurements and manufacturer details, the height of the base for the Apertura AD12 is approximately 29 inches (about 74 cm). However, please note that this measurement can slightly vary due to factors such as the addition of base padding for leveling or other custom modifications. For the most accurate measurement, if you have access to the telescope, measuring it directly using a tape measure is recommended.
