Farpoint Dovetail System · Guide Scope Rings
Mount your guide scope on the dovetail — rigid, aligned, adjustable.
The Farpoint 160mm D Style Dovetail Rings are a pair of 160mm inner-diameter rings that bolt to a D-size (Losmandy-style) dovetail plate and carry a guide scope, finder, or other optical accessory on top of your telescope. Three adjustment screws per ring center the tube, grip it securely, and let you aim the guide scope precisely — a rigid platform for autoguiding and wide-field imaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit my guide scope?
The rings hold any tube with an outer diameter below 150mm — the ring needs at least 10mm over your tube O.D. so the three adjustment screws per ring can center and grip it securely. If your tube is much smaller than the ring, long 1.5″ screws add reach. Using a V-size (Vixen) setup? See our Vixen scope rings.
Is the dovetail bar included?
No — the rings bolt to a D-size (Losmandy-style) dovetail plate you already have. Need the plate? See our universal D-size dovetail bars.
