Takahashi 166WS Tube Rings

for Epsilon-130D

• Piggyback without the wobble. The 166WS tube rings let you mount a guide scope, camera, or other accessory parallel to your Epsilon-130D astrograph, so everything rides in perfect alignment with your main instrument instead of fighting it for space.
• Purpose-built for the Epsilon-130D. With a 166 mm internal diameter, these rings are sized specifically for the Takahashi Epsilon-130D, so the fit is exact rather than "close enough."
• A top plate that's ready to work. The included top plate arrives drilled and threaded for accessory mounting, giving you attachment points right out of the box instead of a bare ring you have to modify yourself.
• Barely there. At just 1.6 kg for the set, the rings are light enough to disappear into the Epsilon-130D's already compact, grab-and-go setup.
• Plays well with your existing mount. The rings ship without a bottom plate or dovetail, so you're free to pair them with whatever plate or dovetail your mount already uses, as long as the hole pattern and centre distances line up.
• Built for the Takahashi ecosystem, but not locked into it. Prefer to keep everything in the family? Pair the rings with Takahashi's own M-plate (TMP02200) for a mount that's designed to match, bolt for bolt.
• Precision hardware from a name astrophotographers trust. Like everything else Takahashi builds, these rings are machined to hold their fit night after night, so your accessories stay put through slews, meridian flips, and long imaging sessions alike.
