Yet another question....
for a scope like the megrez 90 (90mm outer tube diameter, I believe!), what would the most suitable Losamandy Guide Scope rings to get? The 108mm, 125mm or even larger?
Thanks in advance

Steve, Measure twice and buy once!! Seriously, I doubt if the outer diameter of a 90mm refractor is actually 90mm, i suspect it is bigger that that.
Regards and Clear Skies,
