4" MOUNT RING SET(MRS-4011)
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 provides a means for fore and aft balancing when you change eyepieces. Thirdly, the Ring Mount holds accessories, such theStarbeam 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 thetube when adjusting balance and provide ample friction to hold your telescope inAccessory

The accessory channels are tapped with #10-32 threads to accept Starbeam andother Tele Vue accessories. The included mounting 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 diagram at bottom for features of the mounting
Mount Ringplate.

3) 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.
4) Thread in the two Allen Key screws just a couple of turns. Then thread in the bat
handles the same number of turns. The Mount Ring will be very loose on the tube.

5) Progressively tighten the right, then left, side screws 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 and screws until
the telescope tube is secure in the Mount Ring Set.
