Right size tube rings

[25585]

Its always the every size under the stars, but the one you need!

Wanting 121mm for my 120mm Equinox per https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/language/en/products_id/1070

And 112mm for my 100 Equinox per https://khanscope.com/products/equinox-100-100mm-refractor-telescope-ota-11030-3

I have been unable to find any rings that size online. Really I want identical pairs to those that came with my scopes, but largest/nearest T-E sell are 116mm, 114mm before leaping up to 140mm.

I guess the 114mm would be OK for the 100, but would 116mm be too small for my 120?

If you need 121 for the 120 then 116 is not going to fit

Parallax do 125mm rings http://www.parallaxinstruments.com/ringprice.html

They do the Tak 95mm ones as well.

According to the following thread on cloudy nights, look at post #226

https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/482300-pimping-your-skywatcher-120ed-pro/page-10

It states the 120ED has a tube diameter of 115.95mm so a 116mm should fit.

Equinoxes have fatter tubes than standard PRO EDs unfortunately

I didn't know.

They are white, but Vixen do 125mm https://www.vixenoptics.co.uk/Pages/telescope_mount_tripod_access.htm

 

Or Primaluce that are red https://www.widescreen-centre.co.uk/astronomy-mounting-hardware/tube-rings/primaluce-plus-mounting-rings

 

Only Parallax seem to do black.
