About our mounts


About mount performance:

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

Our mounts feature smooth easy motion, sure stopping and remain still at high magnification.

Baltic Birch plywood is used for stiffness, strength, endurance and weight reduction. Virgin Teflon riding on select Formica laminate provides smooth sure start/stop motion. Large altitude bearings improve balance and provide fine incremental movement.

Whether cost, height, weight or transport is your top goal, AstroGoods mounts are designed for your specific needs.

Kits are simple to assemble, even for beginners.


All mounts are designed to minimize weight.
 
Mount stands: raise your eyepiece height.
Also available integrated into AstroGoods mounts.
