The Takahashi 179WT Mount<\/h3>\n

Part number TKA32420 is a set of two clamps connected by a crossplate. The crossplate has holes and threaded holes for attaching accessories parallel to the main tube.<\/p>\n

Documented Compatibility<\/h3>\n

The manufacturer specifies: Takahashi TOA-150 telescope. Check the complete model number of the tube before selecting this clamp; a similar nominal diameter is not sufficient to ensure compatibility.<\/p>\n

Prepare the mounting<\/h3>\n

The double clamps are shipped without a bottom plate or dovetail. Takahashi recommends the L-plate, part number TMP02100, for this configuration; it is separate from the upper plate and should not be considered included. For a different mount, check the hole patterns and center distances of the selected plate or dovetail.<\/p>\n

Tube Construction and Protection<\/h3>\n

Takahashi describes a cast aluminum construction with hand-finished details. Pieces of felt protect the optical tube where it contacts the collar. The weight of the mount must be taken into account when considering the entire setup; it does not replace the need to verify the mount\u2019s load capacity.<\/p>\n
