Hi all!
I'm making a really HD Az/El mount for my ST-80 (for now) and want to be able to move up to a bigger refrator later by adjusting some dec. cradle shoes so that any of these scopes will work. What I'm needing is the exact *OTA* outside tube diameter (not the objective or dew shield) so I can design the dec. cradle shoes to accept those OTAs. What I'd like is the specs. on the small Clesetron, Meade, and Synta 100/102/120mm class OTAs to cover any future bets for a new tube for the mount. (I've already tried to go to the appropriate web sites but no luck ...)
Thanks in advance for any info. you can send to me!
