It is the \"GT\" version, which adds a mounting point for a Takahashi guide telescope so a guider can ride alongside the main optical tube rather than needing a separate bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match if you own a TSA-120 or an FSQ-106EDX and you are guiding — the GT mount point gives the guide scope a fixed home on the same holder that carries the main tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e125 mm tube diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e sized to the TSA-120 and FSQ-106EDX optical tubes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"GT\" guidescope mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e accepts a Takahashi guide telescope on the holder itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamshell design:\u003c\/strong\u003e the holder opens to seat the tube and closes around it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMounting a TSA-120 or FSQ-106EDX to a Takahashi equatorial mount for guided deep-sky imaging, where the guide scope needs to be carried on the same holder as the main tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility and Accessory Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSized for the 125 mm tube diameter of the TSA-120 and FSQ-106EDX.
