Explorer Scientific 104mm Telescope Rings

By LEO B.

Good quality heavy duty 4 inch telescope rings. Just what I was looking for!

Before you embark on your next stargazing adventure, consider the Explore Scientific Cradle Assembly for Carbon Fiber 102mm Telescope. This high-quality assembly is meticulously designed to fit your telescope's Optical Tube Assembly (OTA) with precision, ensuring a snug yet non-damaging grip on the delicate surface of the tube.

The innovative hinged ring system of this cradle assembly is a standout feature, allowing for easy separation by simply loosening the oversized metal thumbscrews. Once your OTA is securely nestled within the rings, the system locks back into place, providing a firm and secure hold.

Crafted from extruded aluminum, each ring set in this assembly is topped with a slotted carry handle. This thoughtful design element makes it effortless to transport your telescope when it's not mounted, enhancing its portability.

The cradle assembly also offers versatility in terms of accessory attachment. Whether you wish to attach a camera, guide scope, or any other accessory, it can be easily done using standard 1/4-20 bolts on the top of the handle.

Each cradle ring assembly is equipped with a dovetail plate, enabling quick attachment to a wide range of "Vixen-style" mounts. This includes the popular Twilight Mount from Explore Scientific, further expanding the assembly's compatibility.

When considering the Explore Scientific Cradle Assembly for your telescope, it's crucial to check the Inside Diameter (ID) measurements of the assembly to ensure a perfect fit. This cradle assembly is specifically designed for a Carbon Fiber 102mm Telescope, promising a seamless integration with your existing equipment.

In summary, the Explore Scientific Cradle Assembly for Carbon Fiber 102mm Telescope offers a blend of precision, durability, and versatility, making it an essential accessory for any astronomy enthusiast.
