I'm selling a set of home made guidescope rings that I made for my (former) 8" LX90 (I believe they would also suite an 8" LX200). They are made out of high density marine ply and are as solid as a rock with very little differential flexure (unlike the common orion style guidescope rings).
The inner diameter is ~100mm so it would suite an ST80, which is what I used them with in the past.
It comes with extra long stainless steel mounting screws to fit it to your OTA (to replace the standard Meade ones which are not long enough).
The Guidescope adjustment screws are threaded through brass bushes which have been inserted into the wood.
The only thing that's missing is the nylon / rubber covers for the end of the adjustment screws to stop the guide scope OTA from getting scratched. It's not difficult to find something to do the job though (I usedsticky rubber feet which worked perfectly).
These rings worked extreemely well. $50 + p&h.
Cheers
Matt
