Ziggy, that's a lotta work to increase gripping friction ever so slightly... The quick way is a couple of loops of vinyl tape around the tube where the rings clamp. On 3/14/11, ziggy943@xmission.com <ziggy943@xmission.com> wrote:
My suggestion is not to use cork. Rather fix the location of the tube. First get some small tube weights so balance can be maintained for different eyepieces. Find the location where balance is achieved. Note the location of the upper ring. Countersink a ΒΌ" screw into the ring, leaving the head to stick into a hole into the tube. Guaranteed not to slip.
