Product Overview

The 324CW is a double-ring tube holder for the Takahashi Mewlon M-300CRS, sized to a 324 mm tube diameter — the largest holder in the Mewlon range. Two rings carry the tube across a span rather than clamping it at one point, which is what a tube of this size and mass calls for.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you own a Mewlon M-300CRS and need Takahashi's own holder to carry it on a Takahashi mount or pier.

Key Features & Design

  • 324 mm bore: sized to the M-300CRS tube diameter.
  • Double-ring construction: two ring positions rather than one clamp point.
  • Largest of the Mewlon holders: the M-250CRS takes the narrower 280 mm version.

Recommended Uses

Mounting a Mewlon M-300CRS in an observatory or on a heavy Takahashi equatorial mount for high-resolution planetary, lunar and deep-sky work.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

Sized for the 324 mm tube diameter of the M-300CRS. The M-250CRS is narrower and takes the 280CW holder, which we also stock. If you are matching a holder to a different Mewlon, send us the model and we will confirm the right one.

Good to Know Before You Order

Sized to one tube diameter: the 324 mm bore fits the M-300CRS and does not adjust to the M-250CRS.

We are still waiting on a product photo: Takahashi's listing carries no image for this holder, so the page shows none rather than a picture of a different model. Ask us and we will photograph or describe the item in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

No — the rings open to seat the tube and close around it. The M-300CRS is a substantial tube, so this is a job for two people rather than a difficult one.

What tube diameter does it fit?

324 mm — the Mewlon M-300CRS.

Will it fit my M-250CRS?

No — that tube takes the 280CW holder. We stock it.

Bottom Line

A 324 mm double-ring holder for the Mewlon M-300CRS — Takahashi's own two-point mounting for their largest Cassegrain.
