Takahashi Double Ring Tube Holder

This tube holder is precision-engineered for the Takahashi TOA-130NS, TOA-130NFB, FSQ-130ED, and FS-152 refractors. It is designed specifically for these models to ensure a perfect, secure fit.

No, the 156WT includes the rings and an integrated bridge plate for accessories, but it does not come with the dovetail plate required to attach the assembly to your mount. We recommend using the Takahashi L-plate (TMP02100) for optimal compatibility.

A dual-ring system provides significantly better stability and rigidity, which is crucial for long-exposure astrophotography. By distributing the weight of your telescope across two points, you minimize flexure and ensure your optical tube remains perfectly aligned during imaging.

Yes, the integrated bridge plate is specifically designed to facilitate the parallel attachment of guide scopes or other imaging accessories, keeping your setup compact and balanced.

The 156WT has an internal diameter of 156 mm and is engineered specifically for the dimensions of the listed Takahashi refractors. Using it with a different telescope is not recommended, as the fit will likely be insecure or incompatible.
