Product Overview

The MCR300 Short Aux Ring is a short auxiliary spacer ring in Takahashi's Mewlon-CR reducer accessory family, the same group of parts that includes the Reducer-CR (CCA-250 / Mewlon CRS / FSQ-106EX4) and the 645 Reducer-CA. It's a mechanical spacer, not an optical element.

Who It's For

This ring suits owners already working within the Mewlon-CR / CCA reducer accessory system who need a short spacer to complete their specific imaging train configuration.

Key Features & Design

  • Short auxiliary spacer: adds a fixed, short length within the Mewlon-CR reducer system's mechanical chain.
  • Simple mechanical ring: no optical elements — it exists purely to set spacing between adjacent parts.

Recommended Uses

Fine-tuning spacing within a Mewlon-CR / CCA-250 reducer imaging train where a short auxiliary ring is called for.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

It sits within the same accessory family as the Reducer-CR (CCA-250 / Mewlon CRS / FSQ-106EX4) and the 645 Reducer-CA 0.72x. If you're assembling a Mewlon-CR imaging train and aren't sure whether this ring is the right spacer for your setup, send us your telescope and camera configuration and we'll confirm the fit with you before you order. See the Takahashi Back Focus Guide for spacing figures across the Takahashi system.
