Could someone tell me where can find tubing for a 6" refractor. Aluminum, carbon fiber, maybe cardboard? thank you, JM

Carbon fiber is available if you do a search for them. There are several suppliers so I will not post the links. They are expensive though.

Aluminum is also available http://www.parallaxinstruments.com/tube.htm plus other suppliers.
