Sky-Watcher 116 mm Tube Rings - Set of 2
This set of two Sky-Watcher tube rings with a 116 mm inner diameter is designed for telescopes with a 116 mm tube - such as the Sky-Watcher 120/600 and 120/1000 models. They provide a secure, stable connection between the telescope tube and your mount or Losmandy-style saddle plate.
Why the right tube rings matter
Sky-Watcher tube rings with a 116 mm inner diameter are not just a supporting accessory - they are a key part of your optical system. Poor-quality or incorrectly sized rings can cause tube flex, loss of collimation, or unwanted vibration during high-magnification observing.
The 116 mm inner diameter ensures a precise, even grip on the tube with no unnecessary play, and without deforming or putting excessive pressure on the optical tube.
The set includes two rings, which matches the standard arrangement for safe and balanced mounting of a longer refractor tube. Two mounting points distributed along the tube significantly reduce stress on the structure and improve the overall stability of your setup. This is especially valuable for observers using long focal length refractors or attaching photographic equipment to their telescope.
Compatible and practical
Sky-Watcher accessories are designed to be fully compatible with mounts and saddle plates from the same manufacturer. Thanks to standardised dimensions, they also work well with other systems. For astronomers building or expanding their observing setup, these rings offer a practical and affordable solution - no improvising, no non-standard modifications required.
Who are these rings for?
These tube rings suit a wide range of users:
- Beginners assembling their first larger telescope setup
- Experienced observers upgrading or replacing worn parts
- Anyone building a custom mounting system
- Users switching to a new mount - keep your tube and simply fit the correct rings
