I have 2 Carbon fibre Newts 8” and 10” f5 with GSO gear
Originally metal tube
Retrofitted them myself
Bought Klaus Helmerich Carbon tubes from Germany ( took 3 months from order )
Sidereal trading in Melbourne do their own Carbon newts now !!
Best thing I ever did , massive reduction in weight
No flexure
Minimal thermal expansion and contraction
Look great as well
Saved costs retrofitting them myself ( they’re quite expensive buying a complete CF Newt off a retailer )
Cheers
Martin
