My NS11GPS is carbon fiber and has taken many a bump and still looks as good as new where as a aluminum tube would definately show dents. Honestly Celestron should have kept the the tube on the CPC line carbon fiber. I would have paid the extra hundred or so but I guess they were trying to keep cost down. anyway something for SCT aluminum owners to think about. -------------------- Mike 'The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.” Albert Einstein NS11GPS/Sky align TAKAHASHI TOA150F Celestron 80ED TV Pronto Burgess Bino Coronado Ha PST CGE mount Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Upgrading a C11 to Carbon Fiber Tube asaint 03/24/07 06:53 AM Re: Upgrading a C11 to Carbon Fiber Tube Mike28   03/24/07 07:54 AM Re: Upgrading a C11 to Carbon Fiber Tube Arief   03/24/07 12:54 PM Re: Upgrading a C11 to Carbon Fiber Tube JerryWise   03/25/07 09:33 AM Re: Upgrading a C11 to Carbon Fiber Tube Waldemar   08/04/08 06:31 AM Re: Upgrading a C11 to Carbon Fiber Tube jouster   03/24/07 12:51 PM Extra information 0 registered and 2 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
