The OP said it may not be suitable for white domes

Well spotted Kev, I got way too excited looking at the sheen Steve regained and didn't read the last bit ? thank you ?

it is expensive...but then my obsy is small. 

However, its also much better than the kind of tiles you linked previously as those tend to be more foam than rubber and are not very hardy. 

Hi Adam, i also looked at some good quality matts but in the end I got some of the cheaper foam/rubber ones you mention off fleabay and to be honest I have been in and out of my obsy countless times and they show zero sign of wear so I'm glad i didn't spend that extra now, plus my scope area is 8'x8' so would of needed a small mortgage lol ?

That looks and sounds like it's going to be both fun and interesting - good luck! Post images of the finished product somewhere in these forums ?

Thanks David.

The thread is here if you wish to see it, please feel free to add some constructive criticism ??

I tad dull but Mr posty has brought me some lovely PTFE sheet, rubber buffers and a load of stainless fixings for my pending bespoke EQ wedge projects ?

Wow, some proper serious set ups here ? but here is my little offering, its my 8" LX90 which has since been superseded

by a 10" LX90 but due to the very few nights of clear skies lately I haven’t had time to update a pic of this set up but as I am

in the midst of building a bespoke EQ wedge I will update my pic once up and running.

Clear skies all. ?

Hi all, some fabulous sets here....very jealous ? I have recently just finished upgrading my ep set along with newer planetary ccd. Overall I'm very happy with the ES range although getting used to the eye position of these larger field of view eps is a learning curve ?

Wow, what a great thread, thanks. Almost wished i looked a bit harder when i asked almost the same questions in my own thread. I will be following this some more

I also should start looking for those wonderful jigsaw foam floor tiles. I think I saw some in B&Q. Does anyone have any recommendations for other suppliers I could consider?

I used these Kev, durable and cheap but there are many suppliers out there of this type.
