Where to buy?? Guide scope rings..

[AlexN]

I've just bought an Orion EON 80ED and an Orion ST80 for imaging/guiding, and I want to mount them in guide scope (adjustable) rings to make aligning them easier...

The problem is, the only place I can find them is at Bintel, they are the losmandy ones designed for the D plates, and I dont really want to be buying the EQ6 to D-plate adapter, then running D plates on everything (mainly due to the cost)

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great....

Bintel also sell the Orion Guide Scope Rings for $49, and the Orion Guide Scope Ring mounting bar for $35. I've had both on order with them for a few weeks ... hoping to get them soon, as nobody currently seems to carry these in stock.

They're listed under the section "CCD Imaging And Accessories".

Cheers,
Jeff
