  • PrimaLuceLab 105mm PLUS Support Rings

    The PrimaLuceLab 105mm PLUS Support Rings are CNC-machined from a solid aluminum block to provide an inflexible mounting foundation for optical tubes with a 105mm outer diameter. As a core component of the Prima Luce Universal System, these 105mm rings create a rigid, versatile structure for attaching dovetail plates, guide rings, and other accessories both above and below your 105mm telescope.

    CNC-Machined Rigidity for a 105mm Foundation

    Unlike cast or bent-metal rings that can introduce flexure into an imaging setup, each 105mm PLUS ring is machined with high precision from a single block of aluminum. This method ensures perfect roundness and structural integrity. The aluminum is then sandblasted for a smooth finish and hard-anodized to increase surface hardness and protect against oxidation, resulting in a mounting platform that will not yield under load.

    Full PLUS System Integration for 105mm Telescopes

    These 105mm rings are designed to be the central connection point in your astrophotography rig. The PLUS system's array of threaded holes and slots allows you to securely bolt other PLUS components directly to the rings. You can attach a Losmandy or Vixen plate below for the mount connection and another plate above to hold a guide scope, an EAGLE computer, or other accessories, creating a single, mechanically rigid assembly.

    Universal Mounting Beyond the 105mm PLUS Ecosystem

    While designed for seamless integration with the PLUS ecosystem, PrimaLuceLab engineered these 105mm rings for broad compatibility. A series of central slots allows you to attach plates and accessories from other manufacturers using standard screws. This design choice gives you the freedom to incorporate the rigidity of the 105mm PLUS rings into your existing setup without needing to replace all of your hardware.

  • How do the PrimaLuceLab 105mm PLUS Support Rings improve rigidity?

    The rings are CNC-machined from a solid block of aluminum, unlike rings that are cast or bent into shape. This process creates a single, continuous piece of metal with no weak points, eliminating the primary source of mechanical flexure in the mounting system. The hard-anodized finish further increases surface strength.

    Can I mount a guide scope on top of the 105mm PLUS Support Rings?

    Yes. The top of each 105mm ring is drilled and tapped with threaded holes compatible with the PLUS system. You can attach a second Vixen or Losmandy PLUS plate across the top of the rings, which then provides a rigid platform for mounting guide rings and a guide scope.

    Are the PrimaLuceLab 105mm PLUS Support Rings compatible with non-PrimaLuceLab dovetail plates?

    Yes. In addition to the threaded holes for the PLUS system, the rings feature central slots. These slots allow you to use standard screws to attach most third-party dovetail plates or other accessories that may not conform to the PLUS hole pattern.

    What is the main benefit of the PLUS system for the 105mm Support Rings?

    The main benefit is creating a completely integrated and rigid mechanical system. All PLUS elements (plates, rings, clamps) are designed to bolt together directly, creating a solid structure with no chance of slipping or flexing. This is critical for long-exposure astrophotography where even minor shifts can ruin an image.

    Will the 105mm PLUS Support Rings fit my Borg 107FL or Takahashi FSQ-106ED?

    The 105mm internal diameter is precise. You must measure the exact outer diameter of your optical tube to confirm a fit. While many refractors are in this size class, tube diameters can vary between models and manufacturers. For a secure, non-damaging fit, the telescope's tube diameter should be exactly 105mm.

    Are these 105mm rings hinged?

    No, the PrimaLuceLab 105mm PLUS Support Rings are a solid, non-hinged design. To install them, you must remove any dovetail plate from your telescope and slide the optical tube through the rings. This design is inherently more rigid than a hinged clamshell.
