  • PrimaLuceLab 115mm PLUS Support Rings

    The PrimaLuceLab 115mm PLUS Support Rings are engineered to securely mount optical tubes with a 115mm diameter, forming the core of a rigid and versatile imaging system.

    The PLUS System: A Rigid, Modular Foundation

    These are not just tube rings; they are a central component of the Prima Luce Universal System (PLUS). The PLUS ecosystem is designed around a pattern of threaded holes and slots that allow you to rigidly connect plates, guide rings, and other accessories above and below your telescope, eliminating the flexure common in less integrated setups. This modularity gives you the freedom to build a stable mechanical foundation for any imaging application.

    Precision Engineering: CNC-Machined Aluminum Construction

    Each PLUS component, including the 115mm support rings, is high-precision CNC machined from a single block of aluminum. This method ensures maximum structural integrity compared to cast or multi-part rings. After machining, the aluminum is sandblasted for a smooth surface and then hard-anodized to increase durability and protect it from oxidation.

    Universal Compatibility for 115mm Optical Tubes

    Designed for telescopes with an approximate tube diameter of 115mm, these rings are a perfect fit for a range of popular refractors. They are confirmed to be compatible with models like the Vixen VSD, Vixen AX103S, Vixen ED103D, and Takahashi TSA102. For connecting accessories from other brands, a series of central slots are provided, allowing you to fix non-PLUS plates or guide rings using standard screws.

  • What is the main advantage of the PrimaLuceLab 115mm PLUS Support Rings over standard rings?

    The primary advantage is their integration into the PrimaLuceLab PLUS system. This system uses a standardized pattern of threaded holes and slots, allowing you to rigidly attach dovetail plates, guide rings, and other accessories with zero flexure. This creates a far more stable and modular platform for astrophotography than typical, isolated tube rings.

    Will the PrimaLuceLab 115mm PLUS rings fit my Takahashi TSA102 refractor?

    Yes, the 115mm PLUS Support Rings are specifically designed to be compatible with the Takahashi TSA102. They are also compatible with other telescopes with a similar 115mm tube diameter, such as the Vixen VSD, Vixen AX103S, and Vixen ED103D.

    How do I attach a guide scope to the 115mm PLUS Support Rings?

    You can easily attach a guide scope by first mounting a PLUS dovetail plate (such as a Vixen or Losmandy style) to the top of the 115mm rings. Then, you can attach PLUS guide rings directly to the plate, creating a secure, adjustable platform for your guide scope.

    Are the 115mm PLUS Support Rings compatible with non-PrimaLuceLab dovetail plates?

    Yes. While they are designed for seamless integration with other PLUS elements, the rings also feature a series of central slots. These slots allow you to attach plates or other accessories from different manufacturers using standard screws, ensuring broad compatibility with your existing equipment.

    What are the PrimaLuceLab 115mm PLUS Support Rings made of?

    They are constructed from a single block of aluminum that is high-precision CNC machined. The rings are then sandblasted for a smooth finish and hard-anodized, which increases the material's hardness and provides excellent protection against corrosion.

    Can I mount my telescope with the 115mm PLUS rings on a mount with a Vixen-style clamp?

    Yes. To do this, you would attach a PrimaLuceLab Vixen-style PLUS dovetail plate to the bottom of the 115mm rings. The entire assembly can then be securely mounted on any astronomical mount equipped with a Vixen-style saddle.
