Customer photo and comment:
Apertura
style kit.
"I
really love the mount! Easy to paint, looks
perfect. Nice simple set to put together,
Glued on all places I could. A couple layers
of primer and light sanding made the plywood
edges disappear. Then a layer of indoor
outdoor black semi-gloss trim paint.
Looks
factory nice as if it was always made for
the AD8. Swings like butter, stops and stays
great with the new bearing on it.
I’m
fortunate to have the lighter base easy
to handle holding with the holes. Thank
you very much!"

Mount performance
"As
you want it" - Custom design means
more enjoyment.
A
great telescope is built from the mount up.
The best materials and design are evident in
your eyepiece.
Our
mounts feature buttery smooth motion with
sure start and stop movement, while remaining
still at higher magnifications.
Using Baltic Birch plywood construction provides
structural stiffness and strength, with long
lasting endurance and lighter weight. Our
bearing surfaces glide smoothly over virgin
Teflon and select laminate for excellent sticktion.
Using larger altitude bearings improve balance
while offering finer touch control.
Whether your goal is low cost, light weight,
a specific eyepiece height, improved
balance or easier transportability, we
design with focus on your needs.
