Unlock Versatility with the 235mm PLUS Support Rings

Our 235mm PLUS support rings are designed to accommodate telescopes with an optical tube diameter of 235mm, such as the 200mm diameter Newtonian telescopes. These versatile support rings are compatible with telescopes from various renowned brands, including the SkyWatcher Newton 200/1000 f5 and SkyWatcher Newton Wide Photo 200/800 f/4 models.

Experience Precision and Freedom with the Prima Luce Universal System (PLUS)

The 235mm PLUS support rings are an essential part of our extensive PLUS system (Prima Luce Universal System), a comprehensive ecosystem offering a wide range of support rings, plates, guide rings, and dovetail clamps. This system empowers you to create a customized mechanical support system tailored to your specific needs. Each PLUS system component boasts precision-engineered threaded holes, openings, and slots, ensuring robust connections while maximizing your comfort.

Exceptional Precision and Durability

Our commitment to precision is evident in every aspect of the 235mm PLUS support rings and all PLUS system components. These elements are meticulously machined from high-quality aluminium blocks using advanced CNC technology. Subsequently, the aluminium surfaces undergo meticulous sandblasting to achieve an exceptionally smooth finish. The application of hard anodizing enhances material durability and provides protection against oxidation, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Versatile Design for Precise Adjustments

The 235mm PLUS support rings feature a well-thought-out design, incorporating strategically positioned holes both above and below each ring. These holes enable:

1. Attachment of Vixen or Losmandy plates beneath the rings, simplifying the process of mounting your telescope on various mounts.
2. Effortless securement of PLUS guide rings to the support rings using two screws, ensuring precise guiding capabilities.
3. Addition of Vixen or Losmandy plates above the rings to enhance the overall mechanical system's rigidity. This facilitates the installation of additional accessories like dovetail clamps with guide rings, allowing for precise adjustments to your guide telescope's position.

Seamless Compatibility with Other Brands

Even if you possess mechanical accessories from other brands, the PLUS system remains highly adaptable. We've incorporated a series of central slots that enable you to effortlessly attach plates or guide rings to these support rings using screws, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of equipment.
