I found a perfect replacement cap for a Meade 10" SCT

I've been meaning to post this for a while in case anyone else is looking. My 10" Meade SCT came without a proper end cap, so I wanted to source a replacement, but the Meade versions were extortionate  However, my endless Googling led me to the holy grail: a 300mm combined male/female end cap for air conditioning ducting!  

This cost me less than a tenner and is galvanised. The male part fits the front of the scope perfectly, and the female part just slips over the domed bolt heads behind.

I have a spare or two to make a solar filter as well

There was someone on AB&S wanted one, perhaps they'll see this.
