Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Mount Ring Set for your Tele Vue telescope. The Mount Ring serves three purposes: Firstly,
it provides a secure mounting for your telescope to your Tele Vue mount, or to other mounts via adapters. Secondly, it pro-
vides a means for fore and aft balancing when you change eyepieces. Thirdly, the Ring Mount holds accessories, such the
Starbeam finder or Piggy-Cam, via machined channels in the top half.
Features
The inside of the Rings are lined with a thin felt layer to prevent scratching the
tube when adjusting balance and provide ample friction to hold your telescope
in place. The Mount Ring bottoms have 1/4” studs and guide pin studs to
mate with the mounting plate. The accessory channels are tapped with #10-32
threads to accept Starbeam and other Tele Vue accessories. The included mount-
ing plate attaches to the Gibraltar5 Head (G5H-3016), and to Tele Vue’s Vixen
Mount Adapter (AVT-1011) for use with Vixen-style equatorial mounts. See dia-
gram at bottom for features of the mounting plate.
Mount Ring Installation and use
The Mount Ring comes fully assembled. To install on the telescope you will need
to separate the upper and lower halves.
1) Unscrew and remove the four bat handles. To loosen, start with the handle
flipped to the left as you face it. Rotate the handle all the way to the right. Flip
the handle back to the left and repeat until you are able to turn the screw with
the handle oriented straight up. Tightening is simply the opposite procedure.
2) Place the scope in the lower half of the Mount Ring Set and then place the
upper half of the Mount Ring Set on top of the scope.
3) Thread in the four bat handles just a couple of turns each. The Mount Ring will be
very loose on the tube.
4) Progressively tighten the right, then left, side bat handles so the gap between the
upper and lower halves remains relatively consistent from side to side and front to
back. Continue to tighten the bat handles until the telescope tube is secure in the Mount Ring Set.
Balancing
1) When adjusting balance due to changing eyepieces, snug the mount's altitude tension screws, or
hold the telescope tube since the telescope will become unbalanced when you remove the eyepiece.
2) Adjust balance by loosening the bat-handles on one side and sliding the telescope within the Rings.
Loosen just enough so the telescope slides with force, but not so loose that it slips on its own. Re-tighten
bat handles.
A. Holes - These accept the mount ring studs (and guide pin studs on 5" rings) as shown in the scope cutaway diagram above.
B. Holes - For use with the Tele Vue Gibraltar-5 Head. (Mounting instructions will come with the Gibraltar5)
C. Holes - For use with other Tele Vue Ring Mounts. (By using longer than normal studs, other Tele Vue scopes can conveniently be
attached to the Gibraltar5 Head without removal of the Mounting Plate.)
D. Tapped Holes - For use with the Tele Vue’s Vixen Mount Adpater plate (AVT-1011) adapters for attachment to Vixen mounts.
E.
Holes - For use with Vixen AM-AD-2576 accessory plate. The Vixen plate allows use of the NP127is and guide scope on Vixen mounts.
