Hi John,

I believe it would be for a 10" scope, I can't tell you the exact 'tube' size. If you're making your own scope, you may find you'll need to do some clever spacer work to fit most focusers to a round tube to either increase or decrease the 'radius' of the fitting surface. These can be fitted to a flat focuser board too.

That's what I had to do with the focuser on my big dob. It was 'curved' for a round tube, I just laid it on top of my flat focuser board, and the little segments of space are inconsequential.

Alex.
