The Skywatcher 160mm Rings for 130mm are high-precision support accessories specifically designed for easy attachment to telescopes with a 130mm optical tube diameter. Built for stability and durability, these mounts ensure optimal alignment and support during observations.

Some main features:

• Material: High-quality metal alloy offering lightweight strength and corrosion resistance.
• Fitting Diameter: Precisely machined to fit 160mm mounts and support a 130mm optical tube.
• Design: Dual hinges or clamshell design allowing easy installation and removal.
• Support Points: Built-in Vixen-compatible bars.
• Internal Lining: Soft felt lining reduces scratches on the telescope tube.
• Finish: Matte black or anodized surface to reduce reflections during observations.

These tube rings are essential accessories for astronomers using Skywatcher telescopes, ensuring a stable and efficient setup. Their durable construction minimizes vibrations and maintains optical alignment, making them especially suitable for Newtonian or reflector telescopes.

Additionally, while other sizes are available on the market, the 160mm bases with MPN SW-4406 are specifically designed for 130mm telescopes, enhancing mechanical strength and ease of installation.
