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.

"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"
