Rotating Rings
I believe I have thoroughly searched the IIS forum and links from posts.
The commercial rings are elegant but would be a massive over-capitalisation of my gear. Some of them seem to be no longer available anyhow.
I am thinking of trying the fixed-ring on tube idea i.e. to stop loss of scope while the mount rings are slacked off for rotation. The only possible problem I forsee is that the felt on the mount rings (Skywatcher gear) is particularly tenacious - I have had to open the rings right up at times to release from the tube. So the first question:
Is there any adhesive tape that might be more "slippier" but still secure when the rings are tightened?
The more general question: has anyone come up with another inexpensive DIY solution for the Newtonian rotation problem?
Cheers
