Rmcbp,It's how they categorize the laminates. It relates to the texture of the surface. A 1point is totally flat. A 90 point is fairly smooth surface. 60 point is a reasonably flat but textured finish. 50 point is a very dimpled surface.
Ebony star is available in 50pt or 90pt. 50pt is ideal.
The dimpled surface prevents 'stiction?'. It reduces the amount of force needed to start moving the scope. Thereby reducing the jerky view at the ep.
If they made 24" LP's I wouldn't hesitate fitting one to the gs. The Parks scope rides on one and it 'glides'. But that also has a 2piece support shaft in the centre to stabilize the base due to the shorter distance between the teflon pads.

Ving : grab an LP . Should be a near perfect size for an 8".
