About
our mounts. Help
choosing a mount.
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
designed for simple assembly, even for beginners.

to say how pleased I am.
Total weight 23 lbs, a full 10 lbs lighter
than the particle board OEM base."

"Assembly
was very easy and the mount is solid with buttery
motion. It took off a solid 7.5" of height
and 20-30 lbs!" from an old pipe mount -
