Good Strong Tube Rings

[ngc2403]

Where can i get good strong tube rings so that my telescopes will not move about while on the mount?

i was using my 10'' Orion optics and found the the tube rings are poor and i was wanting some new ones but i don't know where to get them CNC tube rings look good but i don't see any for 10'' newts? and i am never sure of what ring to get for refractors

any ideas or thoughts or past experience welcome

cheers

You could try keeping your existing tube-rings but adding another dovetail across the top to stiffen things up.

yeah i know that works and i have a guide plate attacked but i feel like they are a bit to light a flimsy

If you've got deep pockets then these are pretty much the best you can get.

I've got a pair of those on my refractor, they aren't exactly William Optics but they are incredibly strong!

Are you sure it is the tube-rings; could it be the tube itself that is flexing? Even the Skywatcher steel tubes have a little flex.
