They attach the optical tube assembly to a Takahashi mount, and the set includes the bridge that joins the two rings into a single assembly. Two rings carry the tube across a span rather than clamping it at one point — the usual arrangement for Takahashi's longer refractors.\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 TOA-130 or an FS-132 and want the two-ring holder rather than a single clamshell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-ring construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e two ring positions along the tube rather than one clamp point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge included:\u003c\/strong\u003e joins the rings into one assembly and provides the mount interface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits the TOA-130 and FS-132:\u003c\/strong\u003e the two tubes share this holder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMounting a TOA-130 or FS-132 to a Takahashi equatorial mount for visual observing or deep-sky imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility and Accessory Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed by Takahashi for the TOA-130 and FS-132.
