Replacement Tube rings

[Ant]

Where can I get replacement (better) tube rings for my ED80 and 6" F5 Newt?

I've invested in an ADM Side by Side system, new focuser... I think that the weak part of the system now is the tube rings and Dovetails...

I know that I can get a good dovetail from ADM - what about rings...?

Anyone know where I can get some from?

Cheers

Hi Ant are you after off the shelf rings or made to order, I’m about to order a set of 250mm rings from Stay Focused Bahtinov masks from £9 - 10 inch tube rings (Powered by CubeCart) for the Carbon Fibre tube I’ve just made,,,,Paul.

Are the ADM rings no good then?

Cheers for the link Paul, those rings do look better than the skywatcher ones...

I'll measure the tube(s) tonight and see what ones I need (then save up )

Dave, that ADM rings only go up to OD 150mm, the scope is a 6" so I'll be needing rings nearer 200mm OD - but I need to measure first.

I also want the scope to be rigid and not adjustable - I'm trying to reduce flexure.

Cheers

If you decide on made to measure rings can I help?

I roll them in steel with whatever plates you want on the bottom.
