Here is a short "how-to" piece I just posted on Cloudy Nights, detailing how I modified a set of Orion tube rings to accommodate a slightly larger tube OD than they were designed for: http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/3881001/pag...

Chuck, I couldn't find the photos. Could you fire off a link?

Joe, the photos are posted as IMG links right there on the Cloudy Nights website. Could be that you can't see them if you are not registered as a member, I don't know. Each photo has it's own URL so I'l try to pull them all together and will post them here when I do. On 6/25/10, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:

Thanks, Chuck -- I'm just now registering with CN, haven't been approved by the moderator yet. I think I might be able to get some astrophotography help there, and of course I wanted to see your pics. Now I can see them just by following the links.
