About
mount performance:
Great telescopes are built from the ground up.
A poorly built mount shows up in the eyepiece.
Our mounts feature
smooth easy motion, stop on a dime and remain still
at high magnification.
We use Baltic Birch plywood for vibration free strength,
endurance and weight reduction. Selected Formica laminate
riding on virgin Teflon provides smooth sure start/stop
motion. Our large bearings improve balance and fine
movement. Whether cost, height, weight or transport
is your top requirement, we design mounts to meet
your specific needs.
Kits are
designed for easy beginner assembly.

to say how pleased I am with the customfolding dob
base. Altitude bearings fit like a glove. Total weight
23 lbs, 10 lbs lighter than the particle board
OEM base." - DH. Apertura AD12"

"Assembly
was very easy. I took it out to view M42, and the
mount is solid with buttery motion. It took off a
solid 7.5" of height and 20-30 lbs!" - Robert
