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

5" rings will be fine

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.
