  • PrimaLuceLab PLUS 20mm Spacers

    The PrimaLuceLab PLUS 20mm Spacers add a critical 20mm of height between optical tubes, dovetail bars, and mounting rings. This 20mm separation is engineered to solve common clearance problems in complex imaging rigs, preventing physical interference between a primary telescope, a guide scope, or other accessories.

    Add 20mm of Clearance to Crowded Setups

    When mounting a guide scope parallel to your main imaging telescope, it's easy to run out of space. A focuser, camera, or filter wheel on one scope can collide with the tube or rings of the other. These PLUS spacers insert a 20mm gap, providing the necessary clearance to ensure all components operate without obstruction.

    Full PLUS System Compatibility for Vixen & Losmandy

    Designed as an integral part of the PrimaLuceLab PLUS ecosystem, these 20mm spacers feature the system's signature hole patterns. They include correctly spaced threaded holes to securely mount both PLUS Vixen-style and Losmandy-style dovetail bars and rings, maintaining the rigid, flex-free connection the system is known for.

    • Vixen & Losmandy Ready: Pre-drilled mounting holes align perfectly with PrimaLuceLab's Vixen and Losmandy PLUS plates and rings.
    • Maintained Rigidity: Machined from solid aluminum, the spacers create height without introducing flexure into your optical train.
    • Hardware Requirement: Note that due to the added 20mm height, standard-length mounting screws will be too short; longer M6 screws are required for a secure connection.

  • Why do I need the PrimaLuceLab PLUS 20mm Spacers?

    You need the PrimaLuceLab PLUS 20mm Spacers if components in your parallel-mounted telescope setup are too close together. They add 20mm of height to prevent a guide camera from hitting the main scope's focuser, or to give a filter wheel enough room to rotate freely.

    Will the PLUS 20mm Spacers work with my Losmandy-style dovetail bar?

    Yes. The spacers are designed with the specific hole patterns for the PrimaLuceLab PLUS system, which includes compatibility with both PLUS Vixen-style and Losmandy-style dovetail bars and support rings.

    What screws do I need to install the PLUS 20mm Spacers?

    To install the PLUS 20mm Spacers, you will need longer M6 screws. The standard screws used to attach rings to a dovetail bar will be too short once the 20mm spacer is added. You must source M6 screws that are at least 20mm longer than your original ones.

    I'm mounting a guide scope on my Celestron 8" SCT with PLUS rings. Will the 20mm Spacers help?

    Absolutely. This is a perfect use case. Mounting a guide scope on an 8" SCT often leads to the guide camera body hitting the main focuser knob or the rear cell of the SCT. The PLUS 20mm Spacers will lift the entire guide scope assembly, providing the clearance needed for both systems to operate without interference.

    How do the PLUS 20mm Spacers help when mounting a Takahashi FSQ-106ED next to another scope?

    The Takahashi FSQ-106ED has a large focuser body and camera rotator. When mounted on a dual saddle plate, these components can easily conflict with an adjacent telescope. Using the PLUS 20mm Spacers under the FSQ-106ED's tube rings will raise it, creating the necessary vertical separation to avoid collisions.

    Do these 20mm spacers reduce the stability of the PrimaLuceLab PLUS system?

    No. The spacers are machined from the same high-quality aluminum as other PLUS components. They are designed to be a rigid, load-bearing part of the system and will not introduce any noticeable flexure when installed correctly with the appropriate longer M6 screws.
