Custom Solid Mount, Large Altitude Bearings Finished
on an Integrated Height Stand:

"I purchased a finished Dob mount for my ten inch Newtonian from Astrogoods and assembled it this past weekend. It went together nicely with no problems, has smooth movement and is a pleasure to use. Thanks for a great product!"

Mount performance

A great telescope is built from the mount up.
Cost cutting parts or shortcuts will show in the eyepiece.

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

Baltic Birch plywood provides 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 transportability, AstroGoods mounts are custom designed to meet your needs.

Kits are simple to assemble, even for beginners.
