I bought my 10” and 8” carbon tubes ( undrilled ) through Sidereal from Klaus Helmerich in Germany ( Teleskop Express Carbon newts both the basic Photon and UNC high end are from Klaus Helmerich as well )
I just bought GSO mirrors , Spiders , focusers , tube rings etc…. and built them myself.
I was thinking about moving to higher end commercial Newts next year but I just don’t find the time in the hobby ( and clear nights ) to warrant dishing out serious cash on premium gear.
I have a busy retirement with family and friends. Still trying to get OS this year too , my Wife and I love to travel.
