Geoff and Vingo,
I thought about using felt, but it ain't for optical usage, it's for imaging, so it doesn't matter which way up the scope is. Plus (as I have already discovered) the OTA is so heavy that it slides down thru the rings even when done up tight!!! So the rubber will help grip it into place and hopefully stop the dreaded slide. (can be fixed if need be).
If it becomes a nuisance and I do want to turn it in the rings, I have some proper stick-on Tube rings felt which I can attach to the rubber.
For optical use it will be plopped into the Dob mount anyway.
