Dobsonian Mounts


Help choosing a mount.


Solid Standard.
 

Higher Power (HP) custom series mounts.
"Use your higher power"


All mounts are designed to minimize weight.


Mount performance

A great telescope is built from the mount up.
Cutting cost on parts or poor design show up in the eyepiece.

AstroGoods mounts feature buttery motion with smooth starting and stopping, remaining still at high magnification.

Baltic Birch plywood adds stiffness, strength, endurance and reduces weight. Altitude and azimuth bearings glide on virgin Teflon and select Formica laminate. Large altitude bearings increase balance and provide finer incremental movement.

Whether your goal is cost, height, weight or transport,
AstroGoods mounts are designed to your individual needs.

Kits are simple to assemble, even for beginners.
