Great mount performance.

Superior telescopes are built from the ground up.

Dobsonian mounts should move smoothly, easily, stop on a dime, and remain still at high magnification.

Mass manufactured mounts squeeze profits from materials resulting in unnecessary weight, stiffness, flexure and difficult motion. Pressed wood construction wicks moisture compromising structure. Undersized altitude bearings using inferior laminates/pads mean balance and motion issues. Mediocrity destroys function.

We use Baltic Birch plywood for vibration free strength, endurance and weight reduction. Selected Formica laminate and virgin Teflon give smooth sure start/stop motion. Large bearings improve balance and fine movement. Our mounts are made for your specific needs.

Kits are designed for easy beginner assembly.

AstroGoods Mounts: All-Star Performers.

 

Mount stands for raising eyepiece height.

Available integrated with Astrogoods mount or to fit yours.

AstroGoods mounts are all designed for minimize weight.
"Wanted to say how pleased I am with the custom folding 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 K. 10" f/7
