Mount and Altitude Bearings: This customer, in Brazil, did a beautiful job finishing a kit he purchased. "Mount works perfectly, going from zero to slightly over 90 degress. Altitude movement is silk smooth; azimutal movement is firm and precise. Mount height and tube clearance were spot-on! There´s about one inch of clearance." - Marcelo I.

Solid Mount and Clamshell Rings with Bearings: "I have received the mount and finally had a chance to try it out last night. It is awesome! It looks stunning, the movement is perfect, and I love the way it folds up. The scope features a CZ mirror, an Astrosystems 1/30th wave secondary, and a flocked tube with a Moonlite focuser and a Paracorr 2. I was delighted to see that this telescope performs very, very well indeed." - Matt M. Collapsible Mount and Clamshell Rings with Bearings: "I have just had the best weekend, astronomy wise and all due to you.(Plus we finally have clear skies) Thank you a thousand fold, the mount just goes wonderfully, the smoothness and stability. The height is great, can’t express my gratitude and excitement enough. My family would also like to thank you as well, as they now have a happy wife and mother. I haven’t connected the Argo Navis up yet, this weekend’s project. I’m also certain when our group finally gets together they are going to be impressed and I will be able to tell them where to go with confidence." - Maureen Boyd, Australia Collapsible Mount and Clamshell Rings with Bearings: "I have stained and assembled the mount; excellent job in your design. I’m in the process of putting the whole 8 inch scope together and when done, I’ll send you pictures. The mount has great movement and stability, I’m really enjoying this mount." - S. Block Universal Mirror Cell: "Hi, I just received mirror cell. I am Very satisfied with quality, fast shipping and packing!!" Jo - Korea Solid Mount: "Beautiful work! Pure pleasure to use and not have to think how this or that eyepiece will affect the scope's balance" J Schwartz T2

Fisher Solid Mount and Clamshell Rings with Altitude Bearings: Ron had us make a mount with bearings for his 10", and clamshell rings with bearings for his 6" to fit the 10" mount - "Stand arrived this evening. Great job! Looks super, works great. The most amazing part is that it weighs 1/1,000th the weight of the original Orion stand!! Geez!! The real reason that I wanted the mount, so I could put my 6" to good use also. I had no mount for it before, now it looks good enough to sell. BUT - I won't!!"
