Anneaux
Tube rings do more than hold a telescope. They set how securely it is clamped, whether it can be rotated for framing without dismantling anything, and where accessories can be mounted close to the optical axis instead of hanging off a bracket. David Astro carries tube rings in Canada across a wide range of inner diameters, shipping from Canadian stock.
Sizing depends on measured outer tube diameter, which is rarely the same as the telescope's aperture. Tell us the exact model and we will confirm the ring size.

Afficher tous les détailsSizing and Choosing Tube Rings
Rings are specified by inner diameter and should match the tube closely. Too large and the felt compresses unevenly; too small and they will not close.
- Inner diameter, not aperture: An 80 mm refractor typically has a tube diameter around 90 mm, and dew shields are wider still. Measure the tube where the rings will sit.
- Hinged versus split rings: Hinged rings allow a tube to be dropped in without removing the top half, which is considerably easier in the dark with cold hands.
- Felt and liner material: A proper liner distributes clamping force and protects paint; a hard ring on a bare tube can dent thin aluminium.
- Top accessory holes: Rings with threaded top holes accept a short rail for a guide scope or finder, keeping accessories close to the optical axis and reducing flexure.
- Rotation for framing: Loosening rings to rotate the tube changes camera angle without breaking the imaging train, which preserves spacing.
- Ring spacing on the bar: Rings placed further apart resist flexure better; too close together and a long tube can pivot under load.
Why Choose David Astro for Tube Rings
Ring fit is a measurement problem, and a wrong measurement is an expensive return.
- Model-based sizing: Tell us the telescope model and we will look up the actual tube diameter rather than asking you to estimate it.
- Balance planning: We advise on ring spacing and dovetail length together, since rings positioned to balance a heavy camera can end up too close for good rigidity.
- Accessory mounting considered: If you intend to carry a guide scope, we recommend rings with usable top mounting rather than adding a bracket later.
- Authorized dealer: Genuine hardware with full manufacturer warranty, held in our Canadian warehouse.
- Ships from Canada: No duties or brokerage fees for Canadian buyers.
Tube Rings in Canada — Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I measure for tube rings?
- Measure the outer diameter of the tube itself at the point where the rings will clamp, not at the dew shield or the focuser end. If you can give us the telescope model we can usually confirm it directly.
- Can rings be slightly oversized?
- A few millimetres can be taken up with additional liner material, but a significant mismatch causes uneven clamping and can mark the tube. It is better to get the correct size.
- How far apart should rings be?
- As far as balance allows. Wider spacing resists flexure and rotation better. If a heavy camera forces the rings forward and close together, consider a longer dovetail instead.
- Do I need rings if my telescope has a fixed dovetail?
- Not necessarily, but rings add the ability to rotate the tube for framing and to mount accessories on top, which a fixed foot does not offer.
