I tried them and they don't seem to manufacture tubes in anything like telescope size.
There is however a company in NZ that will make tubes sutable for a 10" scope IF it can get something like a dozen orders (I think).
They have to order a mandrel specifically for them and specs need to be decided.
I'm really gung-ho about getting a CF tube as just about all metal 10"+ scopes are too heavy for my mount.
