Mounts A mount is a very important part of a telescope setup. The type of mount you use can depend on whether you observe visually or use your telescope for Astrophotography.

Smile Mounts

Have a Takahashi scope, opted for a Manfrotto Pro Video mount,
never looked back, pan and tilt superb, friction adjust perfect,
can follow and track with just a touch of a lever.
And the price is good compared with many standard so called mounts.
I mean, speaking of non computer driven mounts.
Hope this helps,
Nokton
