The PrimaLuceLab 95mm PLUS Support Rings provide a rigid, CNC-machined mounting solution for telescopes with an optical tube diameter of approximately 95mm. Designed as the foundation of the PLUS modular system, these 95mm rings enable the secure attachment of plates, guide scopes, and other accessories above and below your 95mm refractor.
These support rings are engineered to fit optical tubes with a 95mm diameter, making them a perfect match for premium refractors. They are specifically confirmed to be compatible with Takahashi telescopes such as the FSQ85, FS-78, FC-100DF, and FC-100DL, providing a secure and precise fit for these high-end instruments.
As part of the Prima Luce Universal System (PLUS), these 95mm rings are more than just a tube holder; they are a central component of a complete mechanical support system. The rings feature a pattern of threaded holes, slots, and countersinks that allow for the direct, rigid attachment of other PLUS elements like dovetail plates, clamps, and guide rings without flexure.
Each ring is high-precision CNC machined from a single block of aluminum, ensuring perfect roundness and structural integrity for your 95mm telescope. After machining, the aluminum is sandblasted to create a smooth surface and then hard-anodized to increase its resistance to scratches and oxidation, ensuring long-term durability in the field.
Unlike standard telescope rings with only a few mounting holes, the 95mm PLUS rings feature a versatile system of threaded holes and central slots. This design allows you to attach accessories from other brands, not just PrimaLuceLab. You can easily fix a third-party plate or guide ring using a standard screw, offering far greater flexibility to integrate the rings into your existing setup.
These rings are designed for any telescope with an optical tube diameter of approximately 95mm. They are specifically verified by PrimaLuceLab to be compatible with the Takahashi FSQ85, Takahashi FS-78, and Takahashi FC-100DF/DL refractors.
By using a system of threaded holes, the 95mm PLUS rings allow you to bolt accessories like dovetail plates and guide rings directly to the rings. This creates a solid, flex-free mechanical train from the mount to the guide scope, which is critical for precise autoguiding and sharp, long-exposure images.
Yes. The top of the rings features threaded holes designed for attaching a PLUS Vixen or Losmandy-style plate. You can then attach guide rings or a dovetail clamp to that plate, creating a secure platform for your guide scope directly above your Takahashi FSQ85.
Yes, most likely. The 95mm PLUS rings include central slots in addition to the PLUS-specific threaded holes. These slots are designed to provide compatibility with plates and accessories from other manufacturers by allowing you to fix them with standard screws.
The Prima Luce Universal System (PLUS) is an ecosystem of mechanical components (rings, plates, clamps, etc.) designed to work together seamlessly. Every part features a specific pattern of threaded holes and slots, allowing you to build a completely modular and rigid telescope support system without any custom drilling or modification.
The rings are CNC machined from a solid block of aluminum. They are then sandblasted for a smooth finish and hard-anodized to protect them from scratches and corrosion, ensuring they can withstand regular use in the field.
