"Lazy-Susan" style azimuth motion lacks "stiction", lacking smooth start and stop motion. Laminate and Teflon provide smooth control and buttery motion.

Rocker boxes riding on an OEM ball bearing tray halfway to the pivot bolt (instead of the perimeter) induces lack of control azimuth motion and wobble.

Adhere laminate ring with contact cement applied to ring and rocker box bottom board. Screw Teflon pads onto ground board over the feet: Easy fix!

Includes: Laminate ring, predrilled Teflon pads, stainless steel Philips screws.

EZ-Adjust Leveling Azimuth Setting Circles

This ATM add on is custom designed to sit under
your mount's existing ground board around and around its feet.

Also available integrated into any AstroGoods mount.
