Customer comments and photos

8/14/26: Lisa W. knew what she wanted, sketching her own design to incorporate an existing clamshell ring in a new finished custom solid mount and altitude bearings for her 8" Orion Dob. Telling us it's "absolutely perfect" and "very smooth" upon receipt, there is nothing more gratifying than a satisfied repeat customer. And looking through a telescope!
 

Mount performance

Great mounts deliver great views in the eyepiece.

We design for your comfort which means enjoyment.

Our mounts feature sure motion, easy fingertip control, precise smooth starting with motionless stops.

Baltic Birch plywood construction provides structural stiffness and strength, lighter weight and years of endurance. Altitude and azimuth bearings glide on virgin Teflon and select laminate, with excellent sticktion. We offer larger altitude bearings for better balance and finer incremental movement control.

What is your goal? Low cost, light weight, eyepiece heights, improved balance, easier transportability? We design to meet your needs. Tell us what you want.
