I am possibly looking at recking the run of fine weather on the sunshine coast and wonder if there is a benefit for the carbon fibre tube over the aluminium white. I have looked at the weight and found a site that tells me the astro tech 10"Rc which I think is the same scope has the carbon fibre at 36 pounds and the white aluminium at 33 pounds. Luke from Andrews weighed the CF today OTA and it came in at 16Kg where I have seen it listed at 13.6Kg. I have no idea which way to go as I am looking at stretching the limits of my EQ6Pro with a longer counterweight bar and different lasmandy style head. Any advice on which tube. Allan I see you have the white. Was there a reason for this preference??

Thanks
