The FSQ-106ED shares the same 125 mm tube diameter, which is why the two appear together on this holder. A clamshell opens along its length so the tube seats in directly rather than sliding through a closed ring.\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-106ED and want a single-piece holder rather than a two-ring assembly.\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 bore:\u003c\/strong\u003e sized to the TSA-120 and FSQ-106ED tube diameter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamshell design:\u003c\/strong\u003e opens to seat the tube, closes around it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-piece holder:\u003c\/strong\u003e one clamshell rather than a two-ring and bridge-plate assembly.\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-106ED 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\u003eSized for a 125 mm tube diameter. Takahashi builds several 125 mm holders — the 125S clamshell here, the 125WM double-ring version, and a GT variant with a guidescope mount.
