The screw on ones are only for the filter thread on the eyepieces and I can't recommend them enough, brilliant product.

The S'n'S AE posh aluminium ones are good as well. I got one and found the thick sticky plastic bit with the logo on covers a small hole in the middle, obviously left from the lathing process. If you pick it off it makes an excellent colli cap.

Thanks for the replys the metal one looks good.

heres a photo of the caps I want the metal ones will replace the one on the right but I could do with one like the left one

I needed one for my webcam and just searched on flea bay for 1.25" cover iirc and got a few very cheap plastic ones. They do the job though and I got some spares.

If the focuser is 1.25", just use a 35mm film canister: perfect fit and sufficiently long for a locking screw to hold it in place, if you want. (The also make good collimation "peepholes")
