AstroGoods.com: Integrated Azimuth Setting Circles

EZ-Adjust Azimuth Setting Circles
Custom sized to fit your mount, easy to install and use.




How to use:

  • Center Polaris in your finder or use a compass to point mount North.
  • Rotate setting circle to align zero with the pointer.
  • Turn nylon bolt up to lock setting circle zero position.
  • Ready to use. Rocker box turns, azimuth circle remains pointed North.

Everything is included in our assembly (top to bottom):

  • Rocker box bottom board cut and drilled to fit mount front and side boards.
  • Setting circle with pointer and lock.
  • Select laminate ring riding on virgin Teflon pads.
  • Azimuth bolt assembly.
  • Ground board with feet.

Above assembly can replace GSO/Apertura lazy-Susan ground board.

We will ask a few simple measurements to match your mount's front/side boards.

Top and bottom boards are 18mm birch plywood rough sanded (80 grit), available as kit. Sizes up to 23" O.D. Larger available, ask for quote.

No cost: Add an Altitude circle and pointer:

On our bearings, as an arc, or for GSO/Apertura.
