Mount performance

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

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

Baltic Birch plywood guarantees stiffness, strength, endurance and weight reduction. Altitude and azimuth bearings use virgin Teflon riding on select Formica laminate. Large altitude bearings increase balance while providing finer incremental movement.

Whether your goal is cost, height, weight or transport, AstroGoods mounts are designed individually to your needs.

Kits are simple to assemble, even for beginners.


All mounts are designed to minimize weight.
