SVBONY SV116 Adjustable Guide Scope Rings Kit (43–70 mm)

Product Overview

The SVBONY SV116 is a pair of adjustable metal rings for mounting a guide scope with a tube diameter of 43–70 mm parallel to your main telescope. Knurled 12 mm thumbscrews with nylon tips centre and aim the guide scope without marking its tube. The rings use M5 threads, and the base accepts M8, 1/4″-20 UNC and M6 fasteners, so it can bolt to a tube-ring top, a dovetail bar or another flat surface.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you autoguide with a separate guide scope and want to piggyback it on your imaging telescope with the ability to point it at a suitable guide star.
