  • PrimaLuceLab 150mm PLUS Support Rings

    The PrimaLuceLab 150mm PLUS Support Rings provide a rigid, precision-engineered mounting foundation for any telescope with a 150mm optical tube diameter. Designed as the core of the PLUS modular ecosystem, these 150mm rings feature a universal pattern of threaded holes and slots to securely attach guide scopes, dovetail plates, and control units with zero flexure.

    CNC-Machined Aluminum for 150mm Optical Tubes

    Unlike cast or bent-metal rings, each PLUS support ring is machined from a solid block of aluminum using high-precision CNC machines. This process ensures a perfect 150mm circular profile for a secure grip that won't mar your telescope's finish. The aluminum is then sandblasted for a smooth surface and hard-anodized to increase durability and protect against oxidation, ensuring a lifetime of reliable use in the field.

    The PLUS System: Universal Connectivity for Your 150mm OTA

    These rings form the backbone of the Prima Luce Universal System (PLUS), a comprehensive ecosystem of interlocking plates, clamps, and accessories. The 150mm rings feature a versatile array of threaded holes and slots, allowing you to rigidly mount dovetail plates on both the top and bottom. This lets you attach your 150mm telescope to a mount while simultaneously adding a guide scope, an EAGLE computer, or other accessories on top, creating a solid, integrated imaging platform.

    • System Rigidity: By connecting plates above and below your 150mm tube, you create a rigid cage structure that dramatically reduces mechanical flex, a critical factor for long-exposure astrophotography.
    • Cross-Brand Compatibility: While designed for the PLUS system, the central slots allow you to attach plates and accessories from other manufacturers using standard screws, making them a universal upgrade for any 150mm telescope.

  • How do the PrimaLuceLab 150mm PLUS Support Rings improve my telescope setup?

    These rings provide a significant upgrade in mechanical rigidity over standard rings. By using CNC-machined aluminum and allowing you to attach dovetail plates to both the top and bottom of your 150mm telescope, you create a much stiffer "cage" assembly that minimizes flexure during imaging and slewing.

    Can I use these 150mm PLUS rings with plates from other brands?

    Yes. While the threaded hole pattern is optimized for other PrimaLuceLab PLUS components, the rings also include central slots. These slots allow you to use standard screws to attach most Vixen or Losmandy-style plates from other manufacturers.

    I have a 150mm refractor. How do these PLUS rings help me add a guidescope?

    The 150mm PLUS rings allow you to mount a dovetail plate on top of your refractor. You can then attach guide rings or a dovetail clamp to this top plate to securely hold your guidescope. This creates a stable, co-aligned guiding setup that moves perfectly with your main telescope.

    What is the PrimaLuceLab PLUS system?

    PLUS (Prima Luce Universal System) is an integrated ecosystem of support rings, plates, guide rings, and dovetail clamps designed to work together seamlessly. All PLUS elements feature a standardized pattern of threaded holes and slots, giving you maximum freedom and rigidity when building your astrophotography rig.

    Why are the 150mm PLUS rings CNC-machined and anodized?

    CNC machining from a solid aluminum block ensures perfect roundness and a precise fit for your 150mm optical tube, which is superior to less accurate casting or bending methods. Hard anodizing creates a scratch-resistant surface and prevents corrosion, ensuring the rings maintain their structural integrity and appearance.

    Can I mount both a Losmandy plate on the bottom and a Vixen plate on top of the 150mm PLUS rings?

    Absolutely. This is a primary feature of the PLUS system. You can attach a Losmandy-style plate to the bottom of the 150mm rings to connect to your mount, and simultaneously attach a Vixen-style plate to the top to hold accessories like a guidescope or PrimaLuceLab EAGLE computer.
