Mounts For Telescopes

Some astronomers like to mix and match components to fit their needs and budgets. They'll put an expensive optical tube on a simple and less expensive mount because they don't plan on doing photography and need something light for traveling. Or they'll want to upgrade the inexpensive mount that came with their prepackaged scope to make it steadier or more suitable for astrophotography. For these people, we have an assortment of mounts that can meet almost any need or budget. Simply click on the appropriate category below to find descriptions, specifications, pictures, and pricing on all of the mounts we carry.

Others have a perfectly suitable mount that came with their scope. They simply want an accessory or two to make it a little more convenient or user-friendly.
