Well , being to new CFC tubes .... I really don't know.

2mm would be pretty good ==> my tube would be 4kg cf 11kg for UPVC

1.5mm ==> 2.5kg !! but will it be stiff enough to hold collimation and strong enough where it counts (ie where the focusor , spider and mirror cell are mounted and where the tube rings are ) ?
