Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

Hi,

Of course you can la... :) That is use for GP and china made GP clone mount

Anyway, have you try whether your Antares tube ring can use on the Sky90... I think that may be the best low cost solution that is available to you if the Sky90 is not too short.

Have a nice day.

Hi,
Hmm... If I'm not wrong, Sky90 use 95mm ID tube-ring which is an odd size... :(

May be you can get a 100mm ID tube-ring and use foam to fill up the gaps between the tube-ring and the OTA.

Have a nice day.
