Takahashi's ring designation carries the tube diameter in the model name — the 80 in 80WB is the 80 mm bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match if you have a Takahashi optical tube with an 80 mm tube diameter and need the matching Takahashi ring set rather than a generic third-party ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80 mm bore:\u003c\/strong\u003e sized to an 80 mm optical tube diameter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTakahashi ring set:\u003c\/strong\u003e matches the mounting pattern and finish of Takahashi optical tubes and mounts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMounting an 80 mm-diameter Takahashi optical tube to a Takahashi equatorial mount for visual observing or astrophotography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility and Accessory Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fit is set by tube diameter: 80 mm.
